Sorry for the lack of video and pictures. I didn't want to goof up my cameras.

I also have the 3.7 all I did was remove muffler and rear resonator And just welded pipes in between leaving the front resonator. sounds real nice, not obnoxious

Does anyone have any video of how the exhaust sounds with both of the resonators removed and only a straight through muffler sounds? Kinda wondering how much louder it would be?

Just got the chance to listen to it on my good headphones, at it actially sounds like a v8 when it starts and has a pretty good rumble at idle too. made difference I see is that it revs slower than the v8s but that's about it.

Reminds me of the 4.3l chebies, I always liked the sound of them with a decent muffler on 'em.

I have a video here of mine with a chambered muffler and no resos

There are plenty of guys here with the MBRP kit that removes both resonators and it's a straight through muffler. It sounds really good.
