Default resonators removal

Should I get this done? Is it worth the time and effort?

is it really that much of a difference? I put flows on my 2003 ram (someone stole that one) So I think this might be a safer route if it isn't too loud. in loudness, If stock is a one to flows being a ten, where would removing the resonator fall.

Talking

I had mine removed for two reasons, wanted a somewhat mild increase, and wanted to keep the cost down. I had the resonator removed, 3foot steel welded in place, and everything sprayed. Looks OEM, dealership when i started the truck in the service lane for a PCM update, went to the back and looked at the exhaust tip, then walked back and didnt even ask if i had an exhaust. It makes the hemi sound like it should, im very happy with that cheap $70 dollar upgrade! And its not to loud, this is my weekend family vehicle and i dont want it to sound like a Cobra with an "H" pipe

That sounds perfect. I think that is what I was looking for.

What are the resonators supposed do anyway? Are they just for removing the MDS drone? TIA.

You have to think about the audience, a standard configuration is to provide something to the average driver that does not want the vehicle to do anything other than get them from point a to point b with the least amount of noise, trouble, hassle, etc. The rear resonator does nothing more than quiet the HEMI down -- Which we all think is just craaaazy

You took the muffler out I think. . . we are talking about the small "muffler" that looks like a turbo muffler, right? The big round one that would take a 3 foot piece to fill is the muffler. . .right? I mean really I know both are actually mufflers, but that is the only one that is welded. Mine has actually started to break in and I noticed a little more noise under acceleration
