Has anyone here removed the rear muffler and left the stock resonator in place before? How did it sound? I was thinking of doing this and have the tips welded back up through a Y pipe at my local shop as a temporary exhaust until I got around to doing a proper catback. I'm in college so I can get away with it being on the loud side but I wanted to know what the tone would be like...

wait for a catback

i've been in a car without the entire catback, and it was damn loud...

and have it welded on to the stock pipes... i'd guess that'd be less than $200?

I'm pretty sure there is a resonator, in fact I just went and looked at it. I know many people have gone and had this removed for 60ish dollars and gotten a very mild improvement in sound. I just want to do the opposite. I will still be running stock cats and one resonator so I can't imagine it will blow my ear drums. I was really wondering if anyone had actually heard this...

i'd probably cut the resonator out then, and leave the exhaust. haha

the only issue is going home late at night and driving for more than 15 minutes without earplugs is instant headache...any gear around 4k rpm is a giant noise i cannot describe inside your head.

its great..buy the earplugs

takes 2 people to get it off and a jack & jackstands took me about 15 minutes to get it off. then 20 back on by myself. try it out.

As Bob and anyone who's driven it can attest. Not an eardrum burster though ... just minor ringing. ;^)
