because someone out there has to have done this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks again.

To those who have a magnaflow exhaust...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with the 3.9L I have a couple questions for you. I have this exhaust on my car and am thinking about removing the resinators. My questions are :

1. Has anyone removed their resinators?
2. If so how much louder is it?
3. If resinators are removed will there be a loss of power?

I appreciate any responses and TIA. Cheers!

Oh btw has anyone added tips to a 2000 w/o the cutouts? If so what did you use. Thanks again.

the main purpose of a resinator is to quiet the sound of the exhaust. you should not have a power loss at all.

The resonators dont make much difference in HP, taking them out adds deepness to the exhaust and the annoying hum in the cabin. I would keep the resonators if you go with Magnaflow. The mufflers will add enough rumble.
