2.25 piping no resonator stock muffler??

[slowpoke]

i want to do 2.25 piping from the cat to stock muffler.. ditch the resonator...

would this be a good setup up to keep stock look.. while gaining some sound ..

i really prefer to hear my car.. but i don't want to pay 600 for a full system..

this way.. if i decide to get a universal.. muffler shop can just weld it on..

i heard some ppl have done this.. i want to know what it sounds like..

thx !!

actually, a LOT of people have done this. If you search, you can find a lot of posts dealing with this subject.

"it sounds deeper, but not raspy or buzzy" is what the general description is

yeah ive done a search ..

i found a sound clip.. i forgot who posted it ..

it sounded nice.. but that person also had headers and intake..

mine is pure stock..

so i think the sound will be different..

im hoping for some feedback on sound from someone whos done this with out intake and headers

i just have the 2 1/4 midpipe without a resonator and i love the deep sound. my friends thought i had a catback system as i rolled up near the house, then was amazed to see it was still my stock muffler that was on. do it, you will like this clean deep sound.;)

welp.. imma go get it done right now.. 2.25 crushbent... all the way to the inlet of the muffler.. so i guess there will be welding involved...

hope it sounds good!
