If i remove my resonator and replace w/ a hollow resonator will i see an increase of HP. I already have a performance muffler...jus wanna kno if its worth it.

Any thoughts fellow Maxima lovers?? Thanks.

 

I dont know about HP, but when I got rid of mine and just left the catconverter to pipe to perfomance muffler it is kind of loud and know im looking for a way to quiet mine down.

 

DO u have a racing bullet for a muffler??....My performance muffler is quiet...very LITTLE sound.

And how loud is loud? Can hear the exhaust a block away or jus a car lane over

 

No power gains from removing resonator...just noise. It gets considerably louder.

Just leave it as is.

 

pretty loud man, stars to get anoying inside the car, especially at slow take off speeds, 1/4 throttle

 

No increased performance but more ugly sound huh...yeah i dont want that

 

dont remove the resonator.. you will not be happy with the outcome... drone will be result

 

Right now, my car has an exhaust leak right in front of the resonator and it is loud as f#$& at 2k rpm to 2.5k rpm(right around 60mph in 5th) Still waiting for my replacement exhaust from 2kracing.com. I went with the OBX Catback because the price was reasonable. Not sure how it will sound, but I think better than what it is right now. The rest of the exhaust is going to stay stock.

If my experience with the exhaust leak is this bad....just think of how loud your car is without the resonator there.

At 70-75 ( about 3k rpm), the drone disappates to a point, but is still there.

 

Yeah... all the catback systems online all come with a resonator.

And it doesnt sound like u guys have had a pleasant experience after removing them...

 

That was my resut, is my only otion to reintroduce a resonator>> no jackin
