cut off my mufflers today... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The only stock pieces left on my exhaust were the mufflers and H pipe. A buddy runs a maxi muffler shope so we cut off the stock mufflers and h pipe in exchange for Magnaflow mufflers and their X pipe.
Oh, actually I lied, I left the resonators on. Anyone got an idea of whether I should delete them or not?
I had LT headers and high flow cats already and the original mufflers sounded pretty ridiculous. They were loud and kinda blappy (only way I know to explain it.) Now they are not only quiter, which surprised me, but they sound so much better and cleaner. I can barely hear them in the cabin at WOT, from outside the car they sound awesome though. I can however hear a slight drone at around 73 miles an hour. Really slight, if the radio is on at all I don't hear it. I didn't have any drone wth the stock mufflers at all, but I'm still extremely happy with the change. I swear I can feel the differnece this little change made (have magna supercharger too).
Here's a clip of the new SOUND.
Feedback on cutting out the resonators please!

Nice sound clip and all, but WE NEED VIDEO!!!! Sounds great tho man, I like!

geez, I figured you guys would just be bored with pics/video of cutting off mufflers plus I was really looking for info on the resonators and not trying to create a how to

. I wish I would have thought about it or I would have though. I actually just went by there to have him put it on a lift and check it out, but before I knew it we were cutting them off.
I have to put it back on the lift soon to rip out this hurst shifter and put in my new MGW. I will get pics/vido of that along with shots of the exhaust while its on the lift. Not much need in video of the shifter change, I swear MGW's video is Oscar material. I just can't do it any more justice than that!

Wow... I love the way that sounds

. I'm going to the Oshawa Meet and Greet and I'm hoping someone there has a muffler delete with an x-pipe installed.
