yea just got my car back form the muffler shop(RESONATOR DELETE) for $130.00 out the door and yes munch better sound ...now it sounds more like a sports car than just a lot of air moving out the back....i think its a great mod and i got the idea from here,thank you all for the great idea

 

$130 seems high, i got rid of secondary cats and resonator for $75 with them building a merge.

 

There's no better place for ideas and suggestions.
Good luck and the price isn't too bad at all, especially if your happy.

I thought a licensed service shop couldn't remove cats?

 

I'm in California , prices here are a lot more than other places.....where i live this is a very good price, i went out and checked prices at 3 other places and one guy wanted 200.00 and this guy at 130 was the best out of 3.....(.i just removed the resonator and had them reroute the pipes to the muffler i did not remove the cats)

 

im sure it has to do with the material used. i was quoted 200$ for a res delete with all stainless steel parts.

 

Me too. And worth every penny if done right.

 

Glad you got it done, and the $130 price sounds good to me especially if it is SS. Save that oem resonator you never know.

 

Oh yea, love my car too without the resonator. Gives it that little extra sound that is lacking. Just right for me.

 

Would there be any way for you to get a sound clip?

I'm still debating between this and a muffler delete.

Resonator delete is loud enough. I can't imagine that the SRT6 would sound good or even streetable without the muffler.

 

Thanks, I haven't seen that one before.

Do you have any others of the car by itself?

 

If I went the muffler delete route, I would have all 4 cats and the resonator in place. Few have done it on here and really like it (Just no sound clips)

The muffler delete is more attractive because of the ease and (easier) ability to go back If I don't like it

 

Keep in mind you will have to make custom tips. assuming you would keep the original tips on the muffler in tact. You will have to post a sound clip if you go through with this.

I question whether those that have said they've done the muffler removal actually have removed the resonator and think that it was a muffler.....therfore calling it a muffler delete?

 

Good points Sparkie.

 

I know at least one who did it is a very knowledgeable person on here. I believe they cut the muffler out, and put a y pipe to split the single entry to two, and used that as the tips, or made custom tips.

I'm still debating, it just seems eaiser to do or redo, and I have done this on my previous turbocharged car (not a crossfire though), and it sounded very nice.

 

I've been wanting to do this for some time now. May I request you do a lot of us a really large nice favor - can you get some nice audio sound clips of the car itself with the deleted res and upp them to YouTube? I know A LOT of us would so much appreciate it!

BTW - did you have to do any Y-Pipes, or did he just run a striaght pipe though where the resonator once was?

 

theres at least a half dozen vids on youtube with res delete cat delete and such. its very difficult to get good audio on computer speakers. try a gtg or meet and listen in person for the best sounds

 

Hey fred, whereabouts in n. calif are you located? I'm considering this mod myself and I'd like to meet up with someone from the bay area who has had this mod done... prob have a nice discussion in the process.

Anyone interested? I'm in Willow Glen area, san jose.
