exhaust resonator question?
I believe thats what its called...
I think i read on here a couple days ago that someone was thinking about removing the resenator right at the end of the exhaust system.
my question is basically is this a good idea?
is there any gains or loses in... performance... sound... anything?
Just want to know some info...
thanks for the help guys!

I removed everything from the y-pipe to the back axle and left the rear resonator on, sound is pretty good, but a lot of back pop. and rasping. I would have removed everything if they had not placed the rear resonator on the angle of the exit of the exhaust. Going to be buying a Magnaflow dual this summer.

I test drove a Dak before I bought the one I have that had just the rear resonator removed, I did not notice any difference with or without it once I got mine that had the rear one still on. I don't think just removing the rear one does much. Mine (05 4.7 non-HO) had 2 resonators, one before the muffler and the one behind the rear axle. I removed everything and installed a fm super 44, single in, dual out.

yeah i just have the 3.7 6 cylander so i doubt it will have much of an effect... I seems that im kinda getting different oppinions on it too... as of now i dont see it worth cutting into my exhaust with no intentions of buying a new exhaust soon...
If it is worth it someone please prove it to me

Truckin Magazine tested a Ram with stock exhaust and then aftermarket exhaust. The gain was 30 rear wheel horse power.

Believe it or not, 30 rear wheel horse power is a significigant improvement.

That alone.....I couldn't tell you. I can tell you this. Your stock exhaust system is super restrictive and your resonator is a part of that. If you want your engine to inhale and exhale more efficiently (more efficient=more power), get rid of what is restricting it.
I have Headers, Hi-flow cats and true duals because I'm not a fan of glowing red cats or hearing my exhaust back up.
