This is the setup I have in my car

1995 - 1997 Camaro / Firebird

* 3.8L V6 with Slip Fit Catalytic Converter
* Includes Resonator
* 2.50" Outlets
* 5.00" x 10.00" 80 Series Crossflow Muffler
* 3.00" Logo Embossed Stainless Tips
* American Thunder
* Dual pipes out the Rear exit (DOR)

Can you remove these for a louder sound and better performance?

What is that box anyways?

Re: Question about resonators...

I recommend removing it. The tone becomes much deeper and it gets a little louder. It will make your car sound much more aggressive and it only took me about 8$ and 30min to do it. I could never figure out why flowmaster included that thing in the first place because it sounds so much better without it.

the box IS the resonator.

Re: Question about resonators...

is that the 40 or the 80 cause i dont think mine has that box on it

Re: Question about resonators...

thats the 80...

however, the 3" flowmaster kit for the v8 (which will also fit our cars) does not have a resonator. That may be the kit you have homedog

I recommend getting the 2.5" kit for the v6 and just get rid of the resonator, i think that 3" is overkill for most peoples applications. But that is just my opinion

Re: Question about resonators...

i didnt install it myself but i did open the box and didnt see that i think i would have noticed it i dont even remember if which exhaust i got im almost positive its 2.5" tho

I already have it installed and everything, but come spring time, I will be removing the resonator :tup:

How's it removed anyways? Looks like it's part of the exhaust.

Re: Question about resonators...

I already have my catalytic converter straight piped, if I get pulled over, I am so screwed!:eek:

theres nothing illegal about removing the resonator, the cat is illegal of course. id get a high-flow cat and then by-pass the resonator becuase if you have no cat and you remove the resonator odds are your exhuast will be pretty raspy.

mine doesn't rasp... then again i have a hiflow cat, not a gutted cat.

the only time my car ever rasps is when revving in neutral.
