Took resonator off, didn't like it, so put it back on
Just wanted to post my results with taking the resonator off my '05 hemi QC. I didn't think it made the truck any louder. I did get some resonating in the cab around 2000rpm, otherwise it sounded exactly the same with it off, so I put it back on. Oh well, guess it's time to save up for a new muffler.

Im glad someone posted this. A previous post said it would make the truck have a slight rumble. I was in fact going to take my resonator off tomorrow. Thank you for saving me the trouble of having to put it back on after I took it off.

I cut mine off a couple of months ago. I cut if off right at the front flange. The only difference is a little rumble at start up, and just off idle. At least I don't have to see that mud covered tail pipe any more, hahaha. Anyway, its just one step closer for me to cut the rest off and install something that DOES sound nice. my $.02

Maybe your truck is defective...
When I took my resonator off it sure made a heck of a lot of difference from stock...
I even made some before and after videos... Unfortunately that was months ago and they're no longer online.
But here is what some other members from dodgeforum said

That does it for me... my resonator is coming off the first chance I get.

No mods... well I just removed the resignator. My thoughts? I would still like more rumble, that is until I rolled down the windows.

Thanks for taking the time to do those videos. I took mine off and it sounds much better now.

Thanks Rob, I will do it anyway. I have the '05 so i should have the bolts, right? I havent got underneath and looked yet, but I will tomorrow. Your right, there is no reason to at least try it and see if I like it.
