You yes you can get a lovely sounding exaust for $30.00....before you ask...No this is not a scam or advertisement. Go to your local muffler shop and get your resonator cut off........ ohhhhh my it make a huge difference it is not buzzy at all..... i did it and i love it and i think you will to.....especially for those without enough money to get the new muffler....

The resonator is the long "expanded tube like" thang.



Sure you could do it yourself, if you can cut a pipe (straight preferably), and then install a length of pipe to replace the resonator. Heck you could even take the cut out resonator to your local exhaust shop, and have them create the proper length tube with the proper expanded ends. (expand both ends of the new pipe so that it will fit over the ends of the existing pipe.)

I wouldn't say "reccomended" unless you really want more sound out of your tailpipe.

This is just an "available" mod. In the big scheme of things, it won't help or hurt your performance, but it will make your car louder.
