Default 3GS Resonator Removal

I'm sure there is a thread like this out there, but i honestly couldnt find it

BUT!

I want to get my resonators removed soon. What exactly is needed to be done? How long does it usually take? What problems can i run into without resonators?

any information about this would be great

Thanks.

Are you on a full stock exhaust, or do you have an aftermarket cat-back?

Removing your resonator is a very simple job and shouldn't take an exhaust shop more than an hour. There isn't much too it, simply remove the OEM unit and replace it with the same diameter strait pipe. I had mine removed about a year ago and have had no ill effects since. No check engine lights, etc. I wouldn't worry too much about running into any problems. If you removed your cats, that's different and you'd have to take a few additional steps w/ the o2's.

My exhaust is fully stock, I'm going to talk to my mechanic about it. Thanks

NP. Any exhaust shop that you trust should be able to do it fairly cheap. Good luck.

Sorry I don't have any sound clips.
