Official Resonator Delete Thread

[EF300]

Yes there are restrictors on both sides of the X that go down to 2.32" the X is 2.5" and the rest of the exhaust is 2.75" when I deleted my resonators I also put in a new X

What X did you use ?

Just one they had at the shop, it was $100. Here is the link to my thread with more info and pics.

After driving around for a month I did the resonator delete. As other have said it is loud as crap with the valves open in an awesome rip your face off sort of way. With the valves closed I struggle to hear a difference as compared to pre-delete. This is a fantastic mod and I would definitely do it again.

Did anyone use a resonator delete section from a regular GT? That piece includes a replacement X piece.. I'm not sure what the pipes diameters are though.

Yep. Northern VA trying Eff me cuz I'm by DC. :cheers:

Did you find a shop near DC? My car arrives in 3 weeks. Think we met at C&C Dulles before. My current ride is a white 2015 GTPP.

My car is saying delivered in 9 days...I have the 6gr wheels and resinator delete scheduled as soon as she arrives. Does the delete cause any lights on the dash or code errors?

Not at all, the resonators are after the cats and 02 sensors

Yes, I found Midas in Chantilly will do for 150ish. Have to get my own 409 stainless though. Ebay has 5' with 3" O/D. I think its around $50.

Behind the IHOP on 50 near 28.

Be careful. There are a lot of places that are unable to weld SS. I went through 5 places before I found a shop that was able to weld SS. I'd also question why they don't have SS pipe in stock. That tells me they don't do much, if any of this type of work. I'd investigate further.

Is removing the exhaust pretty straight-forward? Any tips or tricks I should know about before removing?

Thanks. I passed on two places for that very reason. :cheers:

I posted this in another thread a while back, but here it is again if anybody's interested.

One thing that I've noticed now that it's been a couple of months is that it has gotten a little louder. I guess the fiberglass in the muffler has "broken in" for lack of a better term and it's definitely got more volume than it did when I first installed it. For me, it's perfect. At least until I get LT headers...

Did the resonator delete...sort of. This is a Magnaflow 11386 X-pipe muffler. I've used it in a couple of other cars I've owned. I wanted to try it with the FPC to see if I could get similar results. Please ignore the welds - I'm no welder! You can't really see it in the pics, but I reused the factory resonator heat shield, and just tack welded it to the top of the muffler in the front and back.

I will tell you this mod isn't for everybody. The car is not as loud as stock. In sport mode with the mod, I would say the volume is about two-thirds between normal and sport on a stock GT350. In normal mode, it sounds like your grandmother's Crown Victoria. The fact is, you could probably get away with a muffler delete with this mod and be just fine.

However, there is ZERO rasp in the exhaust note. It is as smooth as silk. This is the sound I was looking for (personally speaking), so I'm happy with the results, even if it is just a touch quieter than I would have liked. I think this would be the perfect mod to go along with cat-delete mid pipe installation, as I've heard folks talk about how much louder the car is without cats.

Eventually, I'll go with a full long-tube header system, but for now, I'm happy with the current setup.
