Thanks.. sounds good. You can tell it is a little louder.

 

Ummmmm... it's going to take 2 hours to download the files??? What kind of connection is this server on?

 

2 hours? wow, it took like 1 second for each clip.

chromesilver04, sounds nice. thanks for the clips. your neighbors must love you, huh?

 

Will doing this add any horsepower or is it just for sound. Thanks.

 

Yes, my neighbors love me :-).. the servers the vids are hosted on are top notch, 14 gigabit connection from 6 different backbone providers... so it should load pretty quickly. I didn't really notice any power increase, it's just the resonator (it IS heavy though.. made a loud thump when it hit the floor at the shop). But I am enjoying the sound.

 

I'm doing this tomorrow.... wish me luck.

 

Well...

I had my resonator removed and have been driving without it for a couple weeks now and if I had it to do over again, I would not have done it. When you first start driving after starting the car it has a really bad raspy buzz around 3000 rpms, but it goes away after about 5 or 10 minutes of driving. After that it sounds ok until you really get on the gas, then it sounds like a buzzing fart can! There is also a weird bumping, humming noise while driving on the freeway or at a constant speed on the streets. VERY annoying. I am not really as happy with the sound as I was hoping I'd be.

The BIG reason that I don't like it though, is becuase I have felt a dramatic LOSS of power after getting it done! The car feels like a dog now. I am going tomorrow to have it checked to see if there are any leaks around where they welded in the straight pipe which is about the only thing I can think of that would cause the loss in power that I am feeling. I don't see how there could be a power loss since you are replacing a large chamber, with a straight pipe, but there definitely is.

I would recommend to anyone who is thinging about this NOT TO DO IT!
