Resonator Delete PICS
I just got a Resonator Delete.
I was under the impression it would be a mild upgrade. It made a huge difference. As if I opted for an entire muffler upgrade.
Dang how that resonator restricted sound!!!!
I got it for $125 for user reference in Glendora, CA at "Startek Mufflers"

Re: Resonator Delete PICS
looks like a good job there...i also did the resonator delete and the guy that did mine did it just like yours, i do like it a lot it made a great upgrade in sound and i think a little better air flow also and they are like maybe 20 lbs or so, i did not but it on a scale but i did take it with me (you never know if it is going to be needed sometime)and my back tells me at least 20lbs HAHAHA

The car sounds best under acceleration load from ~2,800 - ~3,400 RPM - and the "back fire" sound when slowing down is AWESOMEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEST and MOST FUN UPGRADE YET!!!!

I drove (SRT-6 Roadster) to Lexington, KY, this past weekend and back for a wedding and here is what I found:
1. Below 2500 rpm the sound is somewhat intrusive; above 2500 it's sweet!
2. Mileage was affected somewhat; I stayed at a constant 77 -80mph and averaged 24.78mpg; typically I'd get about 23 mpg at that speed.
3. At WFO there didn't seem to be much difference in the amount of noise it made pre-resonator delete.
Definitely well worth it, and after I get my CAI on and a Eurocharged tune I should be in great shape.

Re: Resonator Delete PICS
I noticed the brand of gasoline I use gives my car a different tone.
The cheaper Sams Club gas I find to be somewhat 'watered down'? I get less milage on a tank and the sound is not as loud
When I opt for the 76/Chevron gasoline - I seem to have a noticeably louder exhaust time and seem to go further on a tank of gas
Does this sound reasonable?

Re: Resonator Delete PICS
Does anybody with resonator delete get a "rattle can" sound that seems to be coming from the trunk area while applying torque, accelerating from a high gear at about 1900-3000 rpm?

Re: Resonator Delete PICS
Is there anyone in the Indianapolis area who has had this done and would let me stop by to listen to their car and/or could suggest a good shop to have the work done at? The video is nice, but I want to hear it in person before I know if it's something I want to do to my car. Thanks!
