I am looking at buying a MKIV R32 and it's in great condition, almost completely stock, and less than 50k miles on it. Although It has the flapper mod, and resonator delete mod installed. I know how to undo the flapper mod, but I was wondering how I could undo the resonator mod.

View 5 RepliesGot my Magnaflow resonator in the mail today. Called up my exhaust shop and they are willing to tackle it but were wondering "where to cut" and "what about the internal baffles". Do you cut and shorten the center of the resonator by 7 inches or do you cut at one of the ends and shorten it from there 7 inches?
The picture I saw on TampaVW's thread shows it having been rewelded from the exit side (IIRC) but what about the internal baffles?
Was driving to work this morning and my exhaust suddenly got super loud. I did not hit anything. I was cruising through the interstate. Took the car to the dealer to find out my resonator is broken. I have a GHL exhaust. Why would this happen?

I see all the hoses and vacuum lines and I guess I'm unsure what lines to remove and which to keep.
I see the black box under the manifold has a vacuum line that goes to the flapper on the intake manifold I still want that functional.

View 5 RepliesI just got my MkV R and I'm loving it. Quick question - with the EVOMS intake, does that come with the noise pipe delete? Or do I have to order the A3 MAF pipe and attach that to the EVOMS intake? And which is better? EVOMS or VF? Is one intake louder than the other?
View 9 RepliesI have a question about the placement of the resonator. I have searched but I would just like confirmation due to the fact that I only found 1 thread with pics.
Following the tips, what is the correct order. I believe that it is tips, muffler, and then the large resonator. Meaning that the resonator is the closest to the engine. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but there is only 1 resonator in the b6 2.0t right.
Can we remove the air intake resonator on the 2012 Hyundai Santa 2.4L engine? I hear that it will increase a few hp and make the engine louder.
View 19 RepliesSo I really don't drive my car much during the year since I'm away at college. Once I got back home a couple weeks ago and drove my 20th, i heard a rattle coming from the middle of the car. Jacked it up and starting banging around. The sound is coming from my resonator. Its either the clamp that is busted or the resonator itself. I have to get in closer to see which it is. But I do have a few questions. If I just cut the resonator cut off and weld a straight pipe to that will it be much louder. I have a stock 20th and I'm not really looking for a loud exhaust at the moment. Is it much louder without the resonator? I know if you put a straight pipe in place of the muffler it is MUCH louder so I'm just curious.
View 1 RepliesNoticed a louder sound to my exhaust. Cuts out when ice shuts off. Haven't got a good look at the whole exhaust system from underneath but did see water drip out from the engine side of the resonator when the car was warming up. The sound is coming from about midpoint between the taiI pipe and the engine. I suspect the weld at the resonator junction is breaking. Is this common? 2008, Canada, 130000 km.
View 7 RepliesI had my E in for service today to get her fluids changed and to replace her engine oil with Synthetic finally (second service for her).
I had noticed a rattle in the undercarriage for a few weeks now and assumed it was a common TSB for a heat shield that rattles. As it turns out, it is the resonator pipe that needs to be replaced (under warranty). I've never had to replace one before so hopefully it's just a one-off!
Otherwise, I can already tell she's happy to be filled with some wonderful Synthetic...
I have an 2003 Explorer 4.0 and I am looking at replacing my muffler. Only problem is I don't know who to go with. I am looking for a mellow tone with minimal interior noise. I have been looking at Flowmaster, Magnaflow & Dynomax although I can't make a decision. I have heard how the 4.0 Ranger sound's on Magnaflows website(sound's OK) aside from all the horrible sound clips floating around that don't have good quality to listen too. I was looking at Flowmaster 50 series Delta Flow and there SUV muffler(a tad thicker than Delta series) but want some feedback on who/what to go with. Also, right before the tailpipe ends, next to the spare tire underneath, there looks to be what looks like a resonator if I am correct on the tailpipe. Can this be removed and replaced with new piping? Will it hurt performance or make the exhaust sound different?

View 8 RepliesSo I am looking to drop some coin into my 6.0, and one of the things I have been looking at is the EGR delete, BUT, I have been reading that the delete is illegal in all 50 states. I also have been reading that newer factory computer re-flashes will now trip the check engine light, even on the 03-04's, IF they have had the delete done.
With being active duty military, I move often, and I don't want to run into an emissions issue somewhere down the line. So the question is, should I go with the delete, or replace the stock EGR with a bullet proof one? There seems to be difference between the delete kit and the bullet proof EGR.
I've got a 2006 6.0 350 with stock exhaust and am wanting to either delete the cat or the muffler, but not both. I'm curious how each would sound? For example, would deleting the cat make it louder than deleting the muffler, or will one make the turbo whine more audible than the other? Also, is there any benefit to deleting one over the other, performance wise? Oh, I'm not really looking for loud and obnoxious, but more turbo whine wouldn't be too bad .
