Default Resonator??

looking at some exhaust/header/spipe and intake options...but dont know if i should get a resonator or not?...is it worth the extra $75?

i really dont know to much about all this so what kind of diff will headers make or will just the exhaust/spipe and intake be fine?

if u get headers then u should deffinetly get a resonator. if not the ur exhaust will sound really raspy, but just a resonator might still leave ur exhaust a bit raspy

To me, tC's with a header and a straight through exhaust to a muffler sound horrible.......sounds all buzzy and raspy and CHEAP. Resonators and cats are a must. Not as much hp but i think it is worth it.

Agreed, though the not as much horsepower Nemesis is referring to is probably between 1 horse--to a 2 legged
