Now that I installed the 5/16" spacer should I remove the resonator on my exhaust to kinda even things out/get full performance?

My car is a 2005 G35 5AT sedan and right now I have a cold air intake and an axel back exhaust. I would love to install a coupe mid but the guy that installed my muffler chopped the part you bolt the muffler on and just welded it so I figured Ill just delete the resonator if its holding back that much performance. The muffler has removable silencers so sound isnt a big deal.

I do not plan on getting test pipes or HFCs the only thing I plan on doing is getting a Y pipe but that wont be for a bit. Right now Im just looking to get the best performance out of the spacer without having to get a tune.

Thanks,

What kind of exhaust do you have?

 

Just a muffler I found on eBay its a single inlet into a double barrel 3inch outlet

 

did u feel any difference when u install the spacer and did u face any problems and from did u by it ??

 

Hooked on Monkey Fonics worked for this guy.

 

Your 05 resonator flows pretty well, so I wouldn't necessarily delete it, especially if you have a hi-flow muffler. You may find a straight pipe instead of a resonator to be a bit obnoxious. The y-pipe would be a better addition, IMO.

With the CAI, spacer and muffler, you might get a little benefit from an ECU reset so that it learns the new setup and your driving style. Search it up if you're not sure how to do the reset.

This one too.

 

LOL

i had to read this and the sentence you quoted a few times to see how bad it was

 

OP your good the way you are. you wont feel a thing with the spacer, i know i didn't. But it works on paper.
