if and when you do it, please make a before and after sound clip, im interested in remus quad exhausts since they dont involve cutting anything, but i want that noise too

I mean if you have to start cutting parts of the muffler, this process probably isn't reversible I assume. What happens if you find out the noise level is not bare able to your liking, then what? I'm asking because I'm sure one day, this will be my project.

Unless you have some sort of hearing problem you will NOT like the result of this. The outside of the car will sound amazing...but inside it will sound you have an elf buzzing in your ear every time you accelerate and it will drive you crazy. I just put all my resonators back on and am running the same remus quad set up you are, although mine is a v8.
Let me know how it turns out

I have decided not to remove the resonator, after driving my baby around, I actually like how it sound, It is a lexury car, not a race car, so I am keeping it just how it was made. by the way, I love this remus, thanks to RemusExhaustShop. They made this happen.......
