Adam Lee Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hey...I am trying to figure out if the "connector" straight pipe with resonator, which goes from the cat to the muffler bent pipe, can simply be replaced with a straight 3' length of pipe. What I'm asking is, the resonator factory-style pipe isn't necessary right? Walker pipe sells a straight section to fit this application for 39 bucks at Advance Auto....better than the nearly 200 with a resonator...

tunered Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 i cant imangine a 3foot piece of pipe worth 39 dollars but maybe so,i cant see where it would hurt anything,maybe a tad louder but will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 because of an innate cheapness I have removed the resonator from a couple of cars when they got old and rusted. My last 85 Mercedes had a rear resonator that they wanted the price of a Hummer for. I took it to a muffler shop and had it replaced with a straight section of pipe for under fifty bucks. The car still had a cat and a muffler and it was just a tiny bit louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Yes, you can replace it. The exhuast sound might become a tiny bit more lively, but in no way is it dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
