On a side note.. there is no positive effect created by the resonator so why not remove it? It is extra weight and it dulls down exaust tone.. this car is way to quiet even with the resonator removed it is still quiet.. so for those concerned with it being loud, this will not happen... so delete it already.. make sure the shop that is doing your work is at least somewhat reputable and make the welds are not leaking either as this may cause a problem in the future.. If possible invest the extra pennies in stainless steal as it will outlast the car and the reliabilty of the cheaper alternative (aluminum) is very questionable...
Sidez,
Your assessment is pretty much correct. It's hard to record the change made by the resonator delete. It does not make your SRT louder at idle or when reving the engine when in park. (The SC won't kick-in)
Where it does make a difference is under load when the throttle and SC are really kicking in. It's a subtle difference but a nice one.
I agree with YellowCard, this is how are cars should have sounded stock, not oboxious or race, just healthy. If you want "Look-At-Me" loud, when you rev at the stop light, this mod won't do it.
I agree that the $127 extra I paid for SS material was worth it to me (in the long run). But I will probably own my SRT for years and years, younger drivers will most likely trade it in long before....
Good work YellowCard!! - I'm glad you like the results.
