Is your idea of better = louder? If yes then you may as well take off the mufflers too. If you are trying to change the performance then you are, again, wasting your money.

Ask your dad...

He undoubtably paid for it....

Sure , he would be happy for an 18 year old who has yet to discover the difference between sh*t and Shinola to fuk up a class car......

Or is it a hotwheel?

Ahh, the beauty of the internet...think I will go out and polish my Bugatti, going to trade it for the new 1200Hp version next month.....going to get my girl friend Heidi Klum to help me pick out the color...lol

What he's saying is that you're very lucky at 18 years old to own such a fine, classy automobile. Your questions to date on the forum about aftermarket wheels, making it sound louder, etc. come across very ghetto. That leaves many of us wondering what you're thinking and why you're not happy with what you've got.

I think that he should screw up an 03 Civic with these mods and when he realizes that the car is ghetto he with still have the ZDX as a fine, classy, quality, luxury automobile. It would save $1000's.

honestly let the dude do as he pleases. taking off a resonator will not change the appearance and most likely he will be the only one around able to notice its missing. not sure how ghetto plays into effect. yall other guys can say "yay or nay", but leave out the crap.

i say go for it. see how it sounds. and let us know. and if u dont like it, change it back. simple

no don't remove it, change it. flowmaster resonators sound good with j-series honda engines. remove mid muffler, and leave rear mufflers. you'll get amazing sound.

Pickler does flowmaster sell this piece for the ZDX already or is it interchangeable? The ZDX has a great sound from factory but could use a little more grunt for my liking?

i have never driven the zdx, the j32 tl engines were pretty quiet stock but once i took out both resonators it was so loud that i had a pretty horrible drone at 2-3k rpm. at 4500 rpm when vtec hit i could hear everything going on in the engine lol. pretty nasty sound tbh. and highway cruising was a pain, so i installed the resonators back on. i honestly don't know if there are any aftermarket resonators for zdx. call auto tunning shops in your town and ask around. but i would definately NOT delete the res. try getting the mid-muffler deleted instead. you might not notice anything from inside the car with windows up, but it creates a nice roar similar to g37.
