[s-cars] exhaust question, resonator removal.

[David K. Blumenkranz]

i'mnot doing it to gainpower,
i just dont feel like spending unnecessary money on oem exhaust oarst
when i want to eventually change it.

will it sound a bit better?
i was worried that i woudl lose backpressure or somehow it woudl cause
turbo issues etc.

i have driven the car with nothing from the pipes that end before teh
resonator...
and let me tell you guys...

it sounds retarded!
high rpm's you coud\ld swear i have 500 horsepower.
it pulls
but literally does not accelrate until you reach upwards of 3200 rpm.

i obviously dont drive the car like that...
but i did for a couple days...
because the sound was way to nice, and i was having daydreams of being
a race car driver.

nothing like heel toe downshifting...matching rpm's and hearing that engine....
forget 5.1 suround!

will it effect performance at all?
and will my car soudn like a civic?
i like a deeper sound.

anyone ave any exausts for sale?
