I tried an ar3030 with both resonators, front only, rear only and no resonator at all. The front resonator does the most to control sound. I dont think the ar3030 really drones even with no resonator. What I didn't like was the way MDS going on and off sounded. Constantly hearing the tone change was what bothered me. Had i turned off MDS I would have loved to keep the ar3030, it does sound great.

Here is SilsHemi's Video ar3030, y-pipe and rear res

I would save that 90 bucks because taking them out wont make much difference. I just took one off a 07 ram hemi not took long ago. it was the one right past the transmission cross member. The truck already had a cherrybomb glasspack but the guy wanted it louder. So i took the resonator out. I honestly couldnt tell if it was louder or not. It may have changed the tone of the exhaust a little but not enough for the man to be happy with it.

Are the 3030's the non resonated ones? We sell aerochambers where i work but i have never installed one. I've been really curious what they would sound like. You'll have to do a vid so we can check it out.

I had an AT3030 on my '04 Hemi. Only replaced the muffler, left the resonators on. It sounded great.

Removing one resonator would probably not make much of a difference, especially the rear one....but if you removed both of them I'm sure you would be able to tell a change.

I have a 2500 hemi and just had the 3030 installed and to be honest im really disappointed in the sound. not even close to what i thought. seems like a great product just not as loud and deep as i was hoping for. time to look for something different.
