Removing the resonator...should I?

[blazink5]

Hey lewisracing. After your removed that resonator, do you experience backfire from your exhaust? When i'm using the Sport Shift and i'm in 1st or 2nd gear and I raise the rpms to say 3-5k and let off the gas, around 2k rpm, i hear a loud backfire. I looked at the straight pipes that they installed and the diameter of the pipe is smaller than the original size diameter. Would that cause the backfire? Anybody experience the backfire after removing the big resonator? Please help. Thanks so much.

Well my innarwebz-fu is weak, apparently. I had to google "FTL". Learn something new every day.

Don't be so hard on yourself, its tough if you are working for a living and not playing video games for 8hrs/day. Apparently, it can be used in a full sentence too. "Dude, we just wiped in Hellfire ramparts, noob tank FTL."

Yeah, about that. Time for a new avatar since all you double latte frappuccino liberals have no idea what it's about.
Anyone wanna make a suggestion for my new avatar?

I get backfire too on mine, I think it was always there but just not noticeable. In all honesty I think it sounds sweet, but maybe that's just because I'm a teenager.

Folks - updated my exhaust and it sounds much better and does not seem to be any issues.

I had all the stock muffler peices chopped off. Replaced the 2 mufflers up front with a Magnaflow Muffler ( Part # 12568) which would be the same muffler in the full Cat Back system. Only cost me ($108). The muffler is bigger so both the round muffler and heart shaped silencer\resonator needs to come out.

At the back, took off the 2 cans and replaced with straight pipes and oval tips to finish it off.

There is a nice rumble from outside, no vibrations \ backfire etc. The cabin is still quiet, good enough to take my conference calls still.

When you say backfire, do you mean the popping on deceleration? If so, then I always enjoyed that on my '03 Cobra with Magnaflows. When I think of the word 'backfire', I think of John Candy's car in Uncle Buck that would sound like a shotgun before he turned it off. This I would NOT want.

I am also considering hacking only #7 off (the suitcase-sized exhaust located directly underneath), because I've heard clips and it sounds pretty good.

[Frisco_TX_RRS]

Yeah ...no John Candy like issues. Heard somewhere on ths forum that folks were having the backfire issue, could be mistaken.

NO popping either, sounds like a nice flowing rumble ....

I say knock knock out all the LR mufflers and either use a aftermarket muffler with straight pipes all the way through. Forgot to mention a special thank you to Paul on recommending I go this route.
