removing resonators?

[Red Turtle]

Here are a few of my GT500 mufflers with the Resonators deleted. I had my wife drive the car in to work and filmed the car while in her Expedition (first two vids)

I have had this setup and it is half as loud as Roush with resonator deletes;-)

Yeah, it is still relatively mild but sound great IMO.

This is eventually something I want to do with my car since it still has the stock mid pipe and GT500 AB's. It's still a little too quiet.

if this is the stock H and gt500 mufflers ill admit that it sounds as good if not better then a o/r pipe mixed with the gt500 mufflers... i might swap my midpipe back on and sell the H and delete the resonators

Yep, stock H with GT500's and Resonators Deleted. Huge improvement in sound by removing resonators and the best $40 I have spent on the car!

 

[Jim Vaccaro]

To me sound is better with the resonators

Asked mu local muffler shop today what It woudl cost to take out my mufflers.....

Shocked when he said $120!
DAMN, NC was no better than the quote I go tin FL last month.

 

[CoreyHM1]

thanks guys, its just hard to tell what itd sound like with the o/r pipe on these cars. It makes a huge difference itself. Then removing the resonators will either be a toxic combo, or suttle :shrug: lol

Keep searching around. I got quotes as high as 240! I eventually got it done for 70. I'm sure had I haggled it would have been lower. I see some guys say it only cost them 40 bucks.

they have to be completely cut out and then replaced with a straight pipe (welded)

 

[Laztug]

I took the resonators off mine.

3" magnapack catback x pipe w/resonator delete.
loud enough to wake up the neighbors...quiet enough to enjoy the radio. :-D

It is better if you ask "how much to cut out my resonators, and weld in test tubes".

Keep searching around. I got quotes as high as 240! I eventually got it done for 70. I'm sure had I haggled it would have been lower. I see some guys say it only cost them 40 bucks.

Yep, just over $40 here and less than a 30min job.

Cut out.

Yep.

 

[fake]

Cost 50.00 to cut mine out.

 

[Ditty]

For that money....Removing the resonators just might be my first modification. I'd like to see for myself what that ALONE would do to the tone and volume while the stock mufflers are on the car.

A friend of mine did it and to me it was still kind of quiet yet raspy when he got on it. The combo of no resonators with the GT500 axleback is one of the best exhaust I've heard in my opinion. Not at all loud inside the car but has a good note when you get on it.

I am going to find out how no resonators sounds with a Roush axle back now as I have one on the way.

I bet it is going to be loud.
