Resonator out of the trd

I am planning to take out my resonator on my TRD exhaust, would that improve sound and performace? and if what are the negatives to taking out the resonator?

it'll sound raspy. the resonator is what keeps your exhaust sounding good.

i'm not sure on the construction of the resonator but hopefully it's perforated core and not louvered.

if you're going to cut it out you'll have to weld it back in

the only problem is not being CARB and making the car raspy

with a header it'l most likely sound raspy, but he didn't ask with a header or not, i was assuming no.

i've been talking to him on IM for like an hour or 2.. so

if you make it where it sounds good with and without an aftermarket header, everyone wins

Keep the resonator. You will gain absolutely 0 HP by removing it. It will just change the tone of the exhaust to be a little higher pitched.

Actaully, that wont affect CARB at all. Anything done after the cat wont affect emssions testing
