Default rusted out resinator...

its on my 99sl2 i know nothing to do with monte but i might get a few sugestions on here... but i want to replace the rusted out resinator without replacing from the cat back...so i was thinking i would either buy a cherry bomb or some piping to take place of it... main leaning towards the bomb side becuase it may act somewhat like a resinator....tryin to keep this car decently quiet becuase it is the baby go mobile.... i want loud id go to the monte....coments? sugestions?

I would see how much the res would cost you compared to the Cherry Bomb. I know they are not known for being quiet ( hence the name BOMB ).

a cherry bomb is probibly gonna be worse than no pipe at all. if its rusted out and is causing a loud exaust leak, see if you can cut out the resinator and replace the pipe with a peice of flexible exaust pipe from any auto parts store. easy to work with, and cheeper than a cherry bomb. we had a similar issue with my moms '00 izuzu trooper, a peice of the pipe rotted out at the end of the header, and you could only get it with a new header... for $600 some odd dollars. for less than $10 of genaric flex pipe, we cut to fit and put it in... no problems so far, its been a year since we did it.

or you could make a sleve outta a beercan, lol. thats REAL cheep
