Does the resonator or exh valve have any effect on back pressure, and have you noticed any engine faults or any other repercussions as a result of the mod?? Positive or negative aside from the nice sound.

WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO POST A SOUND CLIP!?!?!?!??

I've put 500 miles on the car since (mellow to very spirited) and their are no negative repercussions to date...only that nice exhaust tone...

As I posted on another thread, I took out the big 14 lb. resonator, but have not been impressed with the results at all. I did a video for you tonight, but I think the shop may have closed my flap during the 28 days they held it hostage. Just got it back yesterday.
I am not having any success with the AVI file. May try it separately. One more time . . .

So the the other two resonators (the ones I removed) are still in place and the flap may be closed...is that correct? I'm tempted to pull out the resonator that you removed too...probably would help a bit...and still would probably be quiet compared with what the aftermarket has out. Hell you can always just have them put back in if you don't like the results...it's a pretty low risk mod for that reason

You are right about the conditions. Remember though that taking the big one out means it has to be replaced with a shop-fabricated piece. No problem, but will set you back a bit more than the $65. I would think that to take it all out and then put it back would cost $350-$400 to get back to square one.

Hey JDN, glad you have your car back. Sounds pretty good on my 'puter. What don't you like about it?

Doesn't sound like yours, realty. Also, the dealer shop mechanic must have closed the flap since condensation is only coming out of one side. From inside the car, it's almost a non event.
