I need to know if I should NOT take my resonator off...im doing this tommorow after school at the local shop PLZ TELL ME WHAT U THINK!!!

 

Nobody on their right mind takes their resonator off. Sounds like absolute sh*t.

 

Depends on if you want it loud or not. I took mine off and I am real happy with it. I also have a flowmaster muffler.

 

Do it! You'll be able to burn some serious rice.

 

I have a straight pipe with a cheap ebay muffler :O

When I took my resonator off I noticed little difference, the real volume lies behind the Cat., so I would suggest you take the resonator off - if you want tone, and your going with a flow setup, you won't be happy...because people get flows for sound, yes?

 

hmmm...Im having the HARDEST TIME EVER with my exhaust...I want sumtin that sounds powerful, and I wanna be able to back all that sound up.

 

Haha, that's why I went straight baby^^ chop that cat.

 

Get a whole new exhuast setup, from the exhaust manifold to the muffler. You'll gain about ~20 to 25whp

 

I wish I could afford a header, y-pipe +catback setup- man I hate not having a job.

 

trust me its pure crap. its worse then whole in muffler lol

 

Well a hole in the muffler sounds like a prelude lol.

 

can the resonator be put back on once I get it off?

 

No resonator sounds like complete @ss to anyone w/ any sense of pride. You'll be made fun of for eternity at your school. Better to be quiet and fast than loud and slow. Although both is fun too.

 

When I first got my exhaust It didn't have a resonator and sounded extremely loud and raspy. I finally got enough money and got the resonator and it made a huge difference in the sound. It's 500 times better with the resonator. Don't make the same mistake I made. BTW, I have a flowmaster muffler.

 

Thanks yall, I dont think im going to do it anymore...but what do u recommend I should do?

 

It all depends on what you want. loud, quiet, deep, etc. If you don't have a y-pipe that'll be the first thing i suggest.

 

taken your resonator off is not going to sound powerfull

 

I disagree. Before I had the resonator it didn't really sound "powerful". I'de say just really loud With the resonator it sounds nice. To get the "powerful tone" you'de probably need some headers.

 

oh yes, headers will do the trick but keep in mind they do come expensive, esp cattman. don't expect much hp increase either.

 

i saw a vid of a maxima w/ cattman open headers. he had a loopy idle, which sounded so sexy, kinda like a bike, high end sounds like very high pitched

heres da video

leave it on, its a deep sound and doesnt sound loud at high rpm, its really deep at low rpms, kinda like a muscle car, then all intake from 3,500 up ahhhhhh
vroom vroom psh vroom

 

You can always start w/ the y-pipe. Cattman has a pretty good one, along w/ stillen (more pricey) & a catback exhaust set-up. I put a stillen y-pipe on w/ magnaflow converter & OBX catback exhaust. Gives a very nice & deep tone. It all depends on what you're looking for and what is within your budget. Good luck.
