I took out the resonator on my '95 V6 and replaced it with a section of pipe. I then replaced the stock muffler with a Ractive muffler,and added a Vibrant cone filter.

I must say,IMO,my car sounds awesome. It's not too loud and not too quiet,and has a very aggressive exhaust note. I have no problems with rasping,or any other noticeable problems.

I used to have an '87 Celica with a Vibrant muffler and K&N intake,and the car sounded like a Honda eating a weed whacker. I also had an '88 RX7 with a K&N intake,2.5" piping and a Magnaflow muffler,and that sounded really nice,but I think the Contour sounds better than both of them.

I removed my resonator for free and it only took about 20 mins to remove it and install the new pipe and weld it up.
