Cut off the Resonators

Cut off the Resonators
Ok, I whacked off the resonators in the back, and bolted on Blastin' Bob's (E-BAY) custom pipes made just for the Magnum/300C. Four inch chrome tips. Cost $129 plus shipping (he shipped to my APO, good job Bob). Took less than an hour to flex off the resonators and bolt these on. No drone and they are about two or three times as loud as stock at full throttle. Quiet at cruise.

The pics are not mine, but from the E-Bay offer from Blastin' Bob. The mic was taped to the rear bumper.

RE: Cut off the Resonators
Flat Eric,
How is the Performance? Did you lose / gain any low end / top end? I like the way my car sounds, especially between two close block walls like the freeway repair dividers... But honestly, I think it was a bit quicker off the line with the stock set up with a bit more back pressure. And with 45 to 65 MPH speed limits here, I can't even get out of second gear... LOL! Reminds me of that old "Nash Rambler" song. "Hey buddy! How do I get this thing out of 2nd Gear?" Anyways, let me know of the Performance, as sound is secondary to me...

RE: Cut off the Resonators
I ordered the 5 db version as Bob mailed me and said all versions may have some "drone" except these. They are loud enough. Used a flex one of my friends has to cut the pipes, 30 seconds each side on a lift. Initially cut them an inch or so too long as we were afraid to be too short, so had to cut twice.
I did not notice any performance hit at all. Still does effortless passing, only now the passee gets more enjoyment out of being passed. I just got my FlashPaq yesterday so I'm playing with that Saturday.
