hey guys, im about to remove my resonators until i have enough $ to get the stillen HFC and HKS exhaust.

my question is how different will my car sound with stock exhaust, but without resonators?

i have the 07 Z with only intakes at this time. Will i experience a slight power gain without my resonators?

Will the exhaust tone change at all, and if so, how?

Are there 2 Resonators on the Z or only 1?

what is a good price to pay for having my resonator/s removed?

:thankyou:

 

If you are in CA, I would save up the dough to get a HFC so that you can still swap out when you take your car for emission's testing. Why hollow it out when you really need it?

 

Don't be a hater.
Get rid of your resonator.

 

Save your money for later.
Leave your resonator.

 

The Z has 1 resonator take a peek underneath your car.. it should make it slightly louder but not like an aftermarket exahust.. shops charged about $40-60 to have it cut and replaced w/ a pipe

do it and post sound clips.. :-)

 

thx for the input. so what about the RASP? will i be hearing a deeper exhaust tone, or will it rasp like there are loose screws in my pipes...

 

Moved...

 

not sure, I've only heard one clip on youtube and read some posts here that says it rasp just a little on cold starts but it's gone when it's warmed up..

you can pick up stock exhaust pipes for cheap if you ever decided to go back to stock

 

I would save my money for the hfc's and exhaust

give ya a relative idea
one of my old vids after i took the reso out

 

dont do it i did and it sounds like ****. Thanks for posting vid to verify my statement

 

id say if your dyin for a sound change its ok
some people like it

 

+1, but after it warms up, it sounds decent

 

okay, interesting. what about if i was to completely straight pipe it? no cats, no resonator...just complete...whats it called test pipes, Y pipe, it? how much power would i gain, how much more rasp will i experience, if any? thxx

 

lol at your name.

 

lol at both of you gais name

 

I have AAM non-resonated test pipes and get a bit of rasp around 3k. Its not horrible and I live with it but it is not a pleasant sound either.

And lolerz at German gaiz

 

I have non resonated test pipes and cant stand them thats why im adding another resonator.

 

does it drone when cruising in 6 gear going less than 80mph?

 

not that i can remember
i only had it like that for a little while
