resonator
Ok new topic.
Now that I have installed a high flow cat would eliminating the resonator cause any back flow problems?Or would I gain horsepower and better sound?

no it won't cause any back flow problems.
would you gain horsepower ? probably not.
would it sound better ? that depends on what you like.
take the resonator off and you will get a drone sound in the cab of the car.
i had to put this on my car to get rid of the drone from my car

3" in and 3" out, but i also have Hooker Headers Aero Chamber Mufflers, not stock mufflers.
with the stock mufflers it should raise the volume some but the tone should stay the same.

I agree with toastedoats, I put on a magnaflow hi flow cat and did a resonator delete but kept the factory muffler. I have no drone and it sounds great.

With or without a resonator, it'* highly unlikely tht your back flow will exceed 1" Hg, so there'* really nothing to worry about there. But, if you're anal about it, and really want to know what your backpressure will be, check this out:
