I think the resonator then fell from a shelf above his desk and knocked justintime unconscious as s/he began typing this post.

wow, that is intense no? now that I have all of your attention :p

(what exactly happend??? thats definatly not all I wrote last night...)

anywho..

SO... yesterday I took out the resonator on my magnaflow, and welded on a 2 1/4 inch. piping in its place.

the result: I noticed a bit of power throught the powerband, which is cool since thats the first time I've done anything and noticed a reasonable difference. I also got a little bit louder tone and backpressure crackle.

The bad, under WOT it sounds like a ricey honda/nissan 0_o
