Question Resonator Delete
I'm looking into removing the resonator and costing with various exhausts specialists. However I need to know what length the resonator is so I can get the straight pipes priced? Does anyone have any idea or already has the resonator removed and can measure it for me please?

Also has anyone experienced any problems with the resonator removed?
Loss of power/torque?

Sorry Sudesh. Could not get close. May have to call them for dimensions.

If you don't get the measurement you need let me know. I have one stored that I can measure for you in the morning. For estimation purposes, plan on around 30" of pipe.

That would be a great help if you can!! If its stored away and too hard to get too then dont worry, but it would be a great help! Much appreciated

Thats great!!! Many thanks. I have another question though. I take it you actually cut the pipes away from the resonator that come from the engine side? Because if you look at this pic, the resonator is actually a bit longer when the pipes are intact.
THE PIPES I'M REFERING TOO ARE LEADING FROM THE LEFT OF THE PIC
