Has anyone ever tried to shorten the resonators instead of just completely removing them? I think I want my car louder than it is with just the mufflers deleted but the videos that I have found with the mufflers and resonators deleted might be a little bit on the loud side for me. I wonder what would happen if I just chopped them down to about half as long...

That's not how that works. You can replace them with smaller ones though.

I know how it works. Trust me I do. I was asking if anyone had actually done it just for the hell of it and if so what results they had. Thank you though.

i dont think you know how it works. If you leave your muffler and delete the resonator it wont sound that bad. Dont delete your muffler and resonator, it's what those broke kids are doing their dodge thinking it's cool. in reality it sounds completely garbage.

Yeah I do. For the second time having to say the same thing to you. I do know how it works. I actually work with tuned tubing quite regularly. At the time I posted this question, I wasn't aware of what the internal packing of the resonator was made of or how large the holes in the baffle were. I just thought I would ask to see if anyone had made alterations to theirs to see what their perceived changes were.

I appreciate your recommendation on what I should do but I have actually already deleted both resonators and the mufflers and I quite like the sound. Seems odd considering that I'm a 42 year old, busines owner, and grown up adult. Ahhh maybe I'm just an idiot broke kid at heart.

Thanks again for telling me what I know and what I should do though.

Do you already have after market mufflers? Was just curious because even with the 2 exit muffler removed the resonators keep the car pretty quite lmfaoo.

No sir. I have neither.

I unbolted the factory mufflers and tailpipes and drove the car around for a few days. There was a definite increase in sound, but like you said, the resonators and pre-muffler still took care of quite a bit of the output from the exhaust system.

While I was pondering removing the resonators, wondering what the results would be, I went ahead and made this thread hoping to get some input from someone who had messed around with the resonators.

That night I drove the car with no resonators, no y-pipe, nothing behind the pre-muffler and I still wasn't turned off by it so I when I had and put straight pipe in place at the resonators.

I ended up with basically the stock system with straight pipes where the resonators and rear Mufflers used to be. It sounds awesome to me. 🔊
