...for what it's worth, I did the resonator delete last year, just smogged it last week, and the tech didn't bat an eye....so much for the visual inspection....passed with numbers comprable to it's numbers 2 years ago when I bought it....without a doubt, the best useless mod for the money....

Sounds like a lawnmower when revving up.

There are no issues with smog testing and a resonator delete.

I had an X-pipe put in for $200 total.

not so good
that just doesnt sound like a healthy sav to tell you guys the truth, but i keep hearing that this mod is one thing that alot of guys are doing, so i just think that the video you made of the red 4.6 needs to be redone, because if it sounds like that then i guess you went for the wrong option my friend.....lets see more videos, peace out...!

The resonator is only there to reduce noise level. It has NO impact on emissions like a catalytic converter does. Removing the resonator wouldn't increase the amount of noise, enough to get you in trouble, either.

To each his own, I did the mod with straight pipes and I love it.
