yes indeed. it was late, didnt want to bother with removing it. does it really make a huge difference in sound?

do you have to remove the bumper to take out out or can you get to it from the fenderwell? I kinda like my car quiet lol

The sound is pretty addicting, but I guess I should say I'm about getting the same problem as you were getting, only thing is I only removed the Resonator. Air Filter is still clean, all fluids are top off, and I'm having a bad situation at the moment.

I mean literally, how can car idle at below .5 rpm... that or maybe its my timing belt change thats overdue 50k mileage ago, beats me. (At the timing belt, honestly having the car for 3 years and it having 2 previous owners, I don't know where their records are of when they last did the timing belt change...and I barely got the car when it was at 86k...its at 134k+ 3 years later...)

uh wow. spoke too effin soon. I have no idea why, but as soon as the needle gets to the middle hash mark, my mileage always goes downhill..FAST. After the hashmark, I got maybe about another 50 miles before it hit the bottom hash...so in all I got about 170 miles for over 11 gallons (approximately...don't know for sure)...but boy am I effin disappointed. The problem seems to be a deep issue...the tranny is a lot smoother now though and the car pulls better. But still...this is absolutely ridiculous
