i guess the cheapest way is to get the mufller shop to cut the resonator off your midpipe and reweld piping in place. OR just have them straight pipe the mid pipe...the sound is not pleasant...trust me!

my resonator has been removed from my midpipe and yes it does sound raspy when the car is cold but after about 5 mins of flow it sounds perfect.

tone is a bit deeper but still the same stock note..

love it!

also, i removed the resonator because an e-cutout replaced it
