Resonator delete

[Beege]

For those that have gotten under the car or have photos of under the car, is a resonator delete possible?

Here are a couple of pics I took.

Yes, you can at the weld points. Did it with my RC F and made a difference adding a deeper exhaust note though its resonators were significantly larger in diameter. My feeling is it won't make much of a difference on the Stinger, but it's a cheap mod and might be worth it for you to try!

If you do, please post a video to hear the sound difference!!

Thanks for the photos. It's definitely something I think I'll try. Just gotta find a reputable exhaust shop near by. I'll record a before and after if possible.

Please do!

Went to the shop and got the resonators deleted today. Took video but it's not worth posting. Didn't do much of anything. The stock resonators are basically straight pipes already.

LOL sorry to hear that ....what a bummer

Did it add any drone?

Okay. I lied. After a couple days and cruising around with the windows down, it did change the sound and volume. I made the recordings with the windows up and based my opinion off the recordings. The sound from the intake masked the change after the resonator delete. I forgot how quiet the car actually is. I don't know if it's the noise canceling in the HK speakers or what (if your trim model has it)

With the windows down, there is a noticeable but subtle sound increase. Nothing too dramatic though. There is a slight drone. I'm sensitive to a drone in a car and would say that it is 30% to what I would consider anything to be annoying.

There is also a slight "gargle" at the very end of when all the air goes through the system after releasing very light throttle.

I'll try to post a video but it'll have to be in between buildings to capture the sound but should be a good representation being equalized by sound loss in a recording with a phone mic.

Hey do you have a sound video? Am thinking of doing the same thing.

I've tried to get a sound clip but it's not loud enough. When I stick the phone out of the car the wind noise blocks it

Ok, do you think is worth it for the cost? Am not looking for massive sound but some better then stock, I have the K&N intake so it might help it also.

I like it. Never annoyingly loud but I'd say most people would expect more sound and it would not produce enough sound for most people to do the mod

Thanks for the update, am going to give it a try

Lol, careful. Some people get really upset when you call it that.

Can you translate? I don't understand Australian.

Kidding of course...mostly.

Their results were interesting. I've never fully bought into the claims that CAI will make huge gains. I've REALLY never believe what CAI makers claim their product makes on a dyno...I thoroughly believe they lie/misconstrue their results to sell more units.

HOWEVER, I do believe that a CAI (or whatever you wanna call it) is needed if someone is trying to squeak out every bit of extra power possible.

Thanks for posting.

LOL, their just upside down. I think it comes down also to the end game of what you want from your car.
