Resonators removed and HFC will be much quieter than this.

I am talking about the video. I am curious to hear how removing the Resonators sound. Does it effect your HP?

It will have no effect on horsepower only the volume of the exhaust. It's an easy process. Cut out the resonators, weld up straight pipe to replace them. If you don't like it, cut out the straight pipe and re-weld the resonators back in. You can't lose. I think a local muffler shop charge me $20 to do it.

What about passing smog? Or effect warranty?

Crazy how cautious I am now with my car.. My old 99 eclipse gst i modded the crap out of it and didnt care about warranty. But I was 23 years old.

Having the resonators removed (red circles) and having straight pipes welded in will do nothing regarding emissions. There is no impact on your warranty either.

Changing the cats (yellow circles) to HFC should not have an impact on passing emissions. Warranty, the dealer has to prove changing these parts caused the problem to deny your warranty claim.

Changing the cats to test pipes (yellow circles) WILL have an impact on passing emissions. Same deal here as above, the dealer has to prove changing these specific parts caused a problem to deny your warranty claim.

I always keep the stock parts so you can revert back to stock.
