[mtz956]

ok thanks for the help. going to delete it.is the resonator the same as the cat?

 

[CTKGP09]

no, in the pic above, the cat will the box on the left and the resonator will be an enlarged tube on the right

the cat is for emissions and the ressy is for exhuat sound

I don't seem to see that on my 07, is the u bend on the 04-08 models?

 

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

nope the newer models did not have a u bend

 

[blueguy]

They did something right after 04 I guess...

 

[CTKGP09]

ya they got rid of ONE exhaust problem...at least it was the worst

thats very debateble. I think the front mani and u bend are just about the same on ****tyness of exhaust flow.

 

[blueguy]

Nah...at least HALF the motor flows good off the head...and it all falls into the SH1T of the U-Bend LOL

 

[CTKGP09]

u bend, front mani, size of downpipe = FAIL

lets go cheap headers!
