Re: with or without a resonator

I had my resonator removed after i tried three different used parts with no luck. I should have bought a new one. The car is slightly louder at idle especially and I noticed immediatly that i can now hear the exhaust at all times. One of my favorite things about the SVX was how amazingly quiet it is when it is working properly. I think they spent a great deal of time on this and has alot to do with why the engine has the cams it has in it, and why the final drive ratio is so short. I plan on replacing it in some fashion once I get my other kinks worked out.
