  • Do I really need this?

    Do I really need this part of the exhaust and what is it? I cant find anything about this. I'm ready to take it off, it's rattling inside of it. Any help would be apprec. Thanks

        Mine doesn't have it anymore. When my exhaust rusted out and I had it replaced, they did not replace the resonator. They just installed straight pipe.

            some new pipes come with it and some don't

            it is not a real necessary piece of exhaust



            I am the original

              Depending on your local laws , you probably don't need #11 anymore, either

                  yes, if your town has emissions checks, you need 11, catalytic convertor

                      resonate...

                      seriously, I think it gives the car a deeper exhaust note... maybe...

                          a resonator just quiets down the exhaust a little bit.

                              It helps knock the noise down a little before it gets to the muffler .

                              Mine does not have one, and I have more of the drone noise inside the car than before i took it off .
