thanks sam what part of dfw you live, i actually live in dallas at 30 and buckner across from racetrack. i think ill look into getting rid of the resonator once i get this damn vsc, abs, vsc off light gone. i changed stock muff to borla and changed a cat and now this happens *facepalm*
Good luck with the vsc/abs stuff. From what I've read it could be as simple as a speed sensor and as bad as a whole master cylinder assembly.
From what I've listened to on youtube, the Borla + resonator delete sounds pretty mean on a GS400! I may be going that route down the line.

resonator delete
I just had my resonators removed yesterday from my 2G3 and still have the stock mufflers. It sounds MUCH better than completely stock. I will eventually be getting Borla mufflers too but for now I am definitely happy.
But that sound clip above really makes me wish I had a 400 lol damn

Drone is not bad at all. You can only hear the difference when you punch it. Sounds a lot better, I am glad I did it.

On my 400, there are 2 long tube resonators, and one that looks like a typical muffler, before them. It is located right after the downpipes near the front of the cabin, and as I recall has 2-into-1 setup, can't recall which direction the 2 outlet pipes are going (in or out) before the 2 long resonators, and then your last 2 mufflers.
Basically there are 3 resonators.

I am not sure how many resonators there are, I have heard 2 and 3. I thought it was only 2 though. But it definitely sounds better without em. I mean when you punch it hard there is a slight raspy sound to it...but thats why I will be going with the Borla mufflers eventually. I am hoping this brings a little deeper tone and cuts a little bit of that raspy sound out. I love it though. And I dont think you really get any performance out of doing this but I can definitely feel a difference in my acceleration from a dead stop.

Does it really make a difference to delete the first resonator, that to me looks a bit like a cat, seeing how its hollow? Ill be keeping my stock exhaust set up for a while but id like a little better note without a loud intolerable volume level. So getting rid of at least two resonators seems to be a great start. I just dont know that it'd be worth the extra cost to cut out the first one after the Y.
