Resonator delete
 
I finally got the flomaster put on today but the muffler shop would not take out the resonator. They said its against there policy to do something to a car which will cause it to fail an inspection. The guy said that i would fail the inspection if i ever got one done. All i want to know is this true? I didnt think that a resonator was a pass or fail thing but hey i dunno. And also how much better does it make it sound?

i dunno how it would sound with u, but hes wrong about failing inspection. In NJ they can fail u for sound, but ur talking v-8 supernoise or ricer fartcan stuff. You will fail if you have a red glasspack in, because they will think its a cherry bomb which is just an illegal part. Paint it silver, and get ya resonator out. I suggest askin to keep the resonator, cuz when i got mine out the flowmasters and a glasspack were too loud inside. Wish I got the super 40s

I know that it doesnt fail inspection in NY. I think its the same in all of the Northeast.

The resonator shouldn't make any differance at at for emmissions. In fact it does nothing to curb emmissions. It's purpose is to act as a primary muffler before the actual muffler. Its purpose it to help reduce noise.

I would recommend keeping the resonator anyway as the drone gets way to loud and will give you a headache after time.. or you have to keep the radio up too loud to drown it out but can't have a decent conversation in the car.
