If I get rid of all of my mufflers will it cause fault codes? Also do I just connect pipes with an exhaust pipe after cutting out?

AFAIK, if anything gets deleted, it's the resonators. Perhaps there is SO on here who has removed the mufflers, or maybe over on the Harley-Davidson boards...

So the resonators, are they the rear mufflers? That what my friend says those are.

I deleted both mufflers a year ago. No fault codes. Kept the resonator in the middle.

How does it sound? And is it affecting back pressure?

Has anyone ever just replaced the resonater with a performance muffler?

Will replacing the rear muffler with a straight pipe be way too loud?

So what is a resonator exactly? How is it different than a muffler?
