resonator (remove or keep)
92lt1 - modded w/ ported heads and lt headers
Is it proven that removing the resonator will increase horsepower? I dont want resonance bad in the car- but i dont want to short myself any horsepower either?

I talked with the B&B folks about the power gains of the X-pipe vs the Resonator. Using a LT4 as their mule on the dyno, they found very little difference in horsepower between their resonator and the X-pipe. BUT, there was a huge difference in loudness with the X-pipe.

Hey Strick, was the sound more or less with the x-pipe? Was the comparison between the two, or each to an exhaust system without either? I have loud resonance in my '85 with straight dual exhaust and just added an x-pipe. Haven't been able to try it yet because of the weather.
