I di dthis today with my 05 Bee with 210 miles on it. Replaced the muffler with a piece of straight pipe, and kept the resonator. It sounds pretty good. Much louder and cheaper than any cat back. No loss of power at all. The the lack of back pressure making you lose power is all BS.

 

does it crackle in the higher RPM's? mine does that right now, im not sure though if its the cat or the resonated tips.

 

My dad has an 03 Hemi ram and he did not want the dumb *** reasonator on the truck at all. my buddy with the rumble bee wants to take his off he dislikes it as well

all it does is restrict the exhaust and make the truck more quiet
