Anyone removed stock resonators? Straight pipe?

Flushnismo · 11-23-2011, 09:10 AM

Has anybody cut off the the two resonators on the mid pipe and made it a straight pipe? I'm considering it.. My friend works at a custom fab shop and said he will do it for free. I already have AAM short tails so I'm thinking this is going to be ridiculously loud.

I've removed the stock resonators on my last car (c280) and on my previous 350Z.
No hurt in trying, it takes like 5 minutes to do and you can hold on to your resonators in case you want to weld them back on later.

It wont affect the sound as much as you think it does.. just gives it a little bit more rumble. I ran straight pipes without cats, it was wayyy too loud.

Well I had a full Gthaus exhaust with HFC and that's pretty much strait pipes and it was extremely loud.

I like it, can't wait to hear w/o the resonators. I'm on the fence on getting the AAM's. I bit concerned with the LEO's. They blanket the area and I drive up hill getting home, thus on the throttle. For $350 it's worth a shot!

Just got the mid-pipe welded up. It'll be going on tomorrow morning after I paint it. I'll keep everyone updated.

Flushnismo · 11-24-2011, 10:07 AM

Might be going on later today if all the family ever leaves..lol

blacknismoZ · 11-24-2011, 05:54 PM

Flushnismo · 11-24-2011, 07:08 PM

Put the pipe on early today and it sounds awesome. I'll try to get a video tomorrow.
