Default No resonators, and a 3.5" tip.

So I had a muffler shop today cut out both my resonators, and weld in straight pipes. I bought a Magnaflow 2.5" - 3.5" tip to go on it.

Sounds a little bit better, will sound better when I get the Flows on there though.

that's pretty much what I planned on doing to my HO in the coming months, however there is only the one resonator at the tailpipe.

Hey Frenchy, how did you make out with your damaged frame crossmember when you were out off roading? I assume you had it checked out.

Lol, I had a few people say it was fine, one say I should worry, I haven't noticed anything wierd yet. So, when I go home next, I will get er checked out... still averaging 20.3 mpg and drives straight as ever... I was told if something was to be wrong with it, I'd notice decrease in mpg and little less straigtness...

But anyways... whatta bout the temporary exhaust?

You should've gone with a SRT-10 (dual tip) style exhaust if you were gonna go straight back with the pipe...it'd look HOT!

This is only a temporary thing right now Dan. If it were permanent I would have gone with the dual tips.

I left the one Resonator on with mine. It still sounds great though. I have the split side.
