What are the gains of it, how do the 2001 ss sounds with it, and how much would it cost to do it because the shop said i need a new resonator anyway so im thinking of deleting it.

 

no gains except the sound, a little deeper but potentially more rasp.

just delete it lol

 

A local muffler shop replaced my rotted out resonator with a straight piece of pipe for $50. They said they get a lot of 6th gen Montes with that problem. The weld rusts and developes a hole like mine did.

Personally, I don't like the sound now. It's a bit louder, higher pitch, and a bit more raspy. To me my Monte sounds on the rice-y side. I'm seriously considering an aftermarket cat-back system now.

But for $50, the car sounds better with the straight piece of pipe than it did with the rotton resonator.

 

I personally noticed little change (but all the mods in my car may have impact on that).

But I wanna say the ol' Butt Dyno noticed a little extra pep (nothing crazy).

If it's rotted, delete it, if it's not broken, leave it alone.

 

yeah mine is rotted guys so shall i just delete it will the sound make it sound ****ty or can u tell its on purpose

 

Some people like the new sound. Personally, I don't. But that's just me.

 

anyone else agree the sound isnt good?

 

Mine sounds pretty decent without it, not very raspy

 

The 3800 isn't going to sound great over certain RPMs regardless.

It won't be a large enough change for you to hate it all the time, you'll be alright with just deleting it for now.

 

should i put different mufflers on than too? Like flowmaste 40 series deltas or super 40's
