Exhaust Mods

Am planning on removing the resonator and replacing factory muffler with Flowmaster Series 40 / 44. Does the change in backpressure effect low end torque? Have read varying stories on how the 3400 responds and how it sounds with this set up.

Re: Exhaust Mods

I removed it from my '96 GA (3100 V6) and it def didn't HURT anything. I would say it could've added to the additonal low-end torque from my cat-back too...

I'd DEF recommend removing it though- it serves no "VALUABLE" purpose whatsoever. It's mainly to 'resonate' the sound/quiet it down... which is doesn't do TOO much of anyway. I thought removing it would be this big difference but it wasn't.
