I hate it when the exhaust is rattling my brain while on the highway in some people's trucks.
yeah if he just removes the res with a stock exhaust it will have very lil rumble....res's quiet down the mufflers....

If you have stock manifolds and y-pipe you have more than enough backpressure to maintain bottom end.

I don't know how a resonator will constrict air flow and increase backpressure anyway. They are a straight thru, non-chambered design (or at least I thought so). It's my understanding that Ram resonators are a straight pass thru type with two thin walls sandwiching a thicker, insulated layer between them. The vibration of the exhaust pulses passing thru creates a sound wave off of the walls and cancel out certain frequencies.

If this is truly the case, then removing one should have little to no effect on backpressure and therefor low end power...
