Has anyone removed their exhaust resonator? how much louder does it make it? and how much would that cost?

 

Yeah, I was wondering the same. I have the HKS exhaust and I want to experiment removing the small exhaust resonator.

But was wondering:

1) How that would sound like? How much louder I guess what I'm trying to say, but I don't want it too loud to wake up the neighborhood.
2) How is the process of removing the small exhaust resonator done? You cut a pipe and you weld on a thinner pipe, or how does it go again? Confused...

 

i have both removed.(im running the comptechs and also have the quiet tip inserts for when i want it quieter) if you have the factory exhaust i would recomend removing both. if you are running an aftermarket exhaust, you may want to expeiriment by removing 1 at a time to see the sound and weather or not you like it.
to have them removed you just have the one you want cut out and a new piece of pipe (same size) welded in place. if you have both removed you would more than likely have a bigger section with the bends in it made up (1 piece) i had that done at the shop for 20 bucks and i welded it in myself.

Thanks. Your CT exhaust sounds awesome.

Dang the process seems arduous. What will happen, say for example, by removing the small exhaust resonator I don't like the sound because it's too loud? Would the shop be able to replace the original pipe to produce back the original sound?

 

yea. the small one shouldnt increase the sound too much. its the bigger f the 2 that does the most work. and yes they could put it back in
