Removed resonator on 3.0

Its a lot louder from the outside, and the burbling is much louder. I cant hear the much if any difference from the interior, but if you stand outside you can hear it is much louder. Best of all, no loss of torque or horsepower. This mod cost me $70.

Did you replace it with an X-Pipe or just a straight pipe?

Krunk man I knew you'd be interested. I dont have any sound clips as I've already done the mod. From the inside you cant hear any difference. From the back of the vehicle its twice as loud as it was before. I straight piped it after removing the resonator. yes, krunk man, it does sound good

I straight piped it, no X pipe, I felt it would be a waste of money to purchase two x -pipes. I'm not hearing any rattles, from the inside I cant hear the difference, the real difference is when you are outside the vehicle, its a lot louder.
