also dont get it removed with a stock muffler. I did this with my stock b pipe when I had it and it sounded like pure crap. It sounded good with my turbo muffler but very loud.

It might sound bad, every muffler has its different tone.

without the resinator it will be louder and probably a little raspy when you let of the gas.

With the factory muffler it was horrible with the resinator. sounded like a bus or something farting.

yeah no resonator is hell if you don't like loud exhaust...I had 2.5" back from the cat, no resonator, straight through muffler, like Mike said, when you let off the gas.....its either gonna sound rapsy or like mine did it'll let off an extremely long and deep "DROOOOOOOOOOONE" as the RPMs drop(which I thought was pretty cool ) I doubt my Teg will ever be able to hit an exhuast note like that!

It monitors the amount of Oxygen in your exhaust stream and sends the information to your ECU. The ECU uses this information to help it determine the correct fuel / air mixture for your engine.

They tend to fail over time and thus need replacement. Indicators are very poor gas mileage and stumbling on acceleration. The O2 sensor is screwed into your y-pipe on the front passenger side of your car.
