Default So I deleted my Resonator...

Just wanted to share.

my 2015 Lexus RCF is currently equipt with the excellent RR racing bazooka exhaust and it sounded awesome. I wanted a little more loud without having to dump the cash on headers at the moment so I went ahead and deleted the resonators! It sounds slightly deeper At lower RPMS and slightly louder at higher RPMs it's great! There is absolutely minimal minimal drone virtually the same as when the resonators were there. If anyone would be interested in the hearing some videos I could mashup a quick YouTube video. I had a couple people on Instagram asking me some questions that were interested in deleting their resonator on their aftermarket exhaust so that's why I'm asking. Lmk if you have any questions.

Yes please do. Would like to hear it. Do you feel any negative impact in the acoustics exterior/interior wise?

When I got my Invidia, I fully planned on deleting the resonator, but after driving with it for almost 2 years, I did not want to mess with the perfection of it as I was afraid I will lose the refinement and some of the awesome acoustic qualities the exhaust has OOB.

So far I have not experienced any negative qualities of the acoustics exterior/interior-wise. I simply hear the "exhaust" more when cruising but not drone. At first, I was hesitant but after hearing a lot of various RCF setups (Non resonated/resonated/ Straight pipe/ Muffler delete etc.) I determined that deleting the resonator would not destroy the tone and beautiful sound of Bazooka's system.

Linked is a video of me cruising at 60 MPH in 8th in sport mode. LMK if u have more questions I have a couple of flyby videos that my friend recorded and a before and after cold start video also coming.


I may be crazy but it feels like the throttle response and low-end torque is slightly better, it may just be because it's slightly louder that i feel this way.

Thanks. Yes, if you can post those before/after videos of the fly-bys, that would be great. Thanks.

Edit: Saw this video on your channel. What year was the Camaro SS?

Sounds loud. Sounds similar to my Borla + PPE UEL Combo. Same type of raspiness.
