Resonator Delete I have a 06 Impala SS and thought I deleted the resonator by cuttin off the 2 mufflers in the back and putting a straight 3.5 wide inch pipe running straight from the exhaust pipes. Was that correct?

lol well dont worry, it should still sound good as it is. Since you left the resonator on you have less rasp than I do (no resonator and a cutout before the mufflers). The resonator doesn't hurt performance in any way so you're good.

If you're worried about the "back pressure theory" you could have maybe lost a little low RPM torque feel, but the power difference will be felt in the higher RPM range.

LOL, can't say I've ever heard of someone confusing their mufflers with the resonator.
As far as putting them back, if you like the way it sounds, don't worry about it.

Like 20SS07 said, as long as you like how it sounds then don't worry about and leave it as it is. I'm sure you'll get plenty compliments on how it sounds like I get.

NEVER WRENCH ON YOUR CAR AGAIN! LOL I jest. We all got to start somewhere. I strongly suspect this would sound badass, I’ve been considering doing this my self. There may have been a thread around here somewhere. Most discoveries where found accidentally.
