Newbie here with a question i was wondering i have a 2006 impala ss
and well right now i have a lot of bills to pay collge etc
and i was wondering for the stock exhaust system can i just take of the resonator and put replace it with an open pipe or how about straight from the catylic converter ??
is there any perfomance gains
is taking of the resonator going to give me a noticible louder sound
and how about only having the catylic converter and no mufflers???

There is a tread on this right now but to answer removing the resonator by itself dosen't sound very good, but should with performance mufflers.if you want really loud a elecric cut out would do the same as no mufflers when you want it to be loud.

Anytime your car throws a DTC, your remote start will not work for safty reasons. Your best bet is to get the OEM cat put back on and get a good cat/back system. As I have stated on the other topic, just like this, that I have the Magnaflow cat/back system, but I want it louder, so I ordered a straight pipe to replace the res, but after hearing someone else remove the res and its sounds like crap, I am really thinking about not putting it on.
Everytime i hear people without the resonator I think it sounds raspy. . .personally I will stick with my magna catback and work on the pipes in front of it once hogan comes out with all the jazz.
