Default Hey I just deleted IS250 resonator

Here is the Video:

Stock Exhaust with deleted Resonator.

I was worried about removing resonator, but I like it. Not that rasp sound to me
It is not that loud, cost me $80 and it took about 30 min

I love the way mine came out too... I however removed the mufflers as well.
I'll be doing an actual exhaust system as I did notice I lost low end torque due to no back pressure in the straight flowing exhaust.

Nice, cheap MOD. M2 Exhaust would do wonders.

Great cheap mod, did the same thing myself. Sounds even better with a Joe-Z intake! However I only paid $40 to get mine done.

go to the muffler shop and have them remove the resonator, they will replace it with a straight piping...

I went to the Mineke Muffler shop, and asked them to remove my stock resonator.

It is not that crazy rasp sound. To me, it is kind of smooth sound (not high pitch)

After removing your resonator, make sure bring your removed resonator to keep
