The lil thing right n back of pass. mud flap?? (1 Viewer)

What is that?? Is it like another cat or another exhaust?? Does it matter if I chop it off to run straight pipes??

It's a resonator. You can chop it off if you don't mind a little more noise. It doesn't restrict exhaust flow.

Thanks. Also, is it ok vehicle wise if I remove my Cat??




........or gut it out??

**I don't mean my house cat, I mean the one before my muffler.

That little "oil can" at the end of the exhaust is what makes the cruiser "whistle" when accelerating.

Do not mess with your cat. It really doesn't make a large difference performance-wise and makes a huge difference pollutant-wise.

OTOH, feel free to gut your house cat. One less feline in the world is a good thing.

Thanks. I didn't know the resonator made that sound. Several people have asked me that. Everyone thought it sounded like a turbo or supercharger kicking in. Thanks again.

I took care of one of my cats, and the other one is half dead(drilled out). I passed emissions with flying colors, and it seemed to make a little diffrence, not much though. There really isnt to big of a need to get rid of the cats. They are restrictive and all, but I dont know how much that actually hurt the truck.

what about 1 high flow cat to a turbo muffler and cut off the littlw whisle thingy? any one one dont this?
i know horse power isnt a big thing but im thinking with one cat and a turbo muffler being smaller it would help with ground clearence.
