i have an 02 stocl bonnie......would it mess anything up if i replaced the resonator with a pipe? Will it sound better or will i notice anything different? Will it throw any codes?

whoops..I thought you said CAT...yeah your ok to remove the resonator.....Its not really a restriction though.

hans, it is not illegal to run without a resonator.. you are thinking a cat

it will just get loud and raspy

how raspy?

If everything else is OEM, not bad at all. My guess would be hardly noticeable...

has anyone done it? If so do u have any clips? What do u think it would sound like if i added some a-market mufflers?

this is my SE with no resontor, high flow cat, ported exhaust manifolds, and stock muffler. yours would be a little quiter since you have 2 mufflers

My 93 came from the factory with no resonator. After the high-flow cat and Muffler swap, I ADDED a Magnaflow resonator. The drone at 2000 rpm'* cruising was nearly deafening, and it was raspy on throttle let-off.

Since the resonator isn't a performance restriction, I'd say leave it be.

I'm locking this one, as this should be discussed in your other exhaust topic. We prefer not to see double-posting, and this has a direct bearing on your further exhaust plans. Please use your other topic.
