I'm hoping that with the headers it will be more noticeable, but I wouldn't be able to compare it to stock cuase I don't have the headers and the mufflers is no longer in my possesion.
Don't let this discourage you from doing it. But I would have rather spent my 40 bucks on on a one legged stripper, just cause that would be fun to watch.

i have a short ram(which is loud) but i do notice the exsaust is much louder when im driving around town and keep wihin 1-2k rpms any higher than that and the intake will over power it. but it has a nice transition. also on a side note it might just be me, but it seemed to get a little more noticable after a few days and even more after a month. common sence says that shouldnt happen,its prolly just my mind playing ricks on me

^i only removed the big resonator. i can hear the difference inside but its very little. i was expecting to be able to hear it more inside the car. i feel like removing the smaller one now that you mention it.
i havent had the chance to hear what it sounds like from the outside yet but mayb i'll think differently after i get to hear it.

Got mine done today, only took the big one off probably gonna go back and do the other one. Not a big noticable difference it just gives your car a little deeper voice around 1 and 2ks rpm and i can also hear it when i down shift. But its worth 30 bucks

if you read the last couple of pages you will find that out.
and no removing 1 or both will not throw any CEL
altho when i got mine done it did throw a CEL but that was because the idiot that did it accidentaly pulled out the wire for my cat.
if you do throw a code after the shop did something wrong.

I'm going to have to play the devil's advocate on this one. I have headers and axlebacks installed and after removing the "small" resonator, I started experiencing resonance within the 2-2.25k rpm.
If you HAVE to take a resonator out, take the BIG one...DO NOT touch the small resonator immediately after the CAT.

got mine done a week ago, sounds louder than just the midmuffler AKA big resonator.
heres a sound clip, its not the best clip but w/e. i dont get any resonace, overall im happy with it, its better than the silent stock exshaust imo.

Nice clip. I find that exhaust notes always sound different when actually at speed, moving, as opposed to revving it while parked.
Any chances for a drive-by or in-car sound clip?
