Like Title said. I'm about to remove my resonator off my 08 altima with already installed Magnaflow with Tips. I was wondering about the pro/con beforei do it 2mrw morning. I'm replacing the resonator with a straight pipe and hoping to achieve a better deeper tone. Right now it deep but not as loud as i thought it would be. HELP ME >.>

I also havve a installed Fuijta Intake already too. lol

car engine size is 2.5 4cyl

it will probably sound raspier and higher pitched. The resonator usually makes things smooth and "hollow" out the sound from the muffler.

MAGNAFLOW!!! lol i love magnaflow.... i want to put magnaflows on my 3.5SE..... i want to cut off the 3rd cat and run true dual with both 2.5" pipes and an X pipe........ but ya, i heard that without a resonator most 4 cylinders sound raspy.... but magnaflow has a habit of sounding sexy on ANYTHING and it's a bigger 4 cylinder so i dunno
