i have a 97 se the other day i was swapping my exhaust from the single to dual mufflers i had to get a coupler so i ran mycar with no mufflers or anything from the resonator back sounded pretty good i have read the resonator is not restrictive if there not could i just loose the mufflers and run strait pipes from the y splitter back? im kinda new to this v6 fuel injection stuff more of an old schooler but so far im loving these cars!
