Resonator Delete With Headers? Your Opinion...
I am looking to get SLP Longtube headers with X-Pipe in about 3-4 months... I was wondering if it would sound good with resonator delete? Will it be too loud?
If So I want to cut my resonators now, if not I'll just wait for the headers Please let me know what you guys think.. Also Has anyone done this? |

I would wait for the headers, run that setup for a little bit and see what you think. If you think it is to quiet then cut them off. Everyones definition of LOUD is different.

I have headers with hiflow cats and a muffler delete. I cut the resonators off a few months ago. Its pretty loud even at idle. If you want loud, its the way to go for sure

Can someone give me a quick lesson on where the resonators are usually located? I thought they were part of the muffler...I'm guessing now that they are not. So if you remove the mufflers, the resonators do not go with them?
