Was wondering if anybody here is running a stock exhaust system with just the muffler removed? Was wondering what it sounded like. Too loud, drone, etc....? Sound clip? I have searched a great deal and have been able to find plenty of people removing resonators and getting a magnaflow muffler. But i want to know what it would be like the other way around. Thanks!

Been asked before.

1. Muffler remove, resonator intact = good but louder.
2. Resonator removed, muffler intact = bad drone / kidney rattle

Ok, sounds good. Think I will keep the resonators then. Thanks!! Paul

Your other option is to remove stock muffler and replace with a magnaflow. A little louder but not enough to offend us old guys (and reasonably cheap too)
