So i had an exhaust leak, and the problem was there was a hole at the one end of the resonator... so i figured, "easy fix! just cut off the resonator and clamp a straight pipe down in it's place... this will fix the leak and sound a little better!" or so i thought... now between 3000 to 5000 rpm's+ i get the most ricerish sound i've ever heard in my life! my car sounds like it's got bad gas... I HAD NO IDEA THE RESONATOR MADE THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE! so does anyone know how much a new resonator would cost? or a way to fix this problem and still leave the resonator off?

 

No offence.. but i cant help but laugh at this lol.

 

understandable... it was a pretty dumb*** move haha

 

Its all good man. Although i cant help you with your question

 

any other takers??

 

Put a silencer in your tip to muffle Rice city.

 

yea i already put my silencer back in, but it still sounds terrible... a resonator i found out is like 80 bucks, maybe a small glass pack in its place might work?? you can get those real cheap at like auto zone or something... are resonators and glass packs similar?

 

hey check out Rockauto.com They got decent prices on parts

 

Do you already have a custom exhuast? if not I would recommend this one I bought
its full 3inch stainless steel catback, inexpensive and has a good deep sound to it too.
he has one for each model eclipse as well the link is for a gst though

 

yea, well, i really dont want to spend much money on it cause i'm gonna try to sell it sometime soon...
