Default Exhaust Question
Hello everyone. I need a question answered. I was thinking about removing my resonators and putting straight pipes in place of them. Will this effect my emmisions for inspection? How will this sound? Thanks for helping. ED

I'm not sure about our vettes, but I've got friends with LS-1 w/o resonators and they sound horrible. That's the only reason I haven't thrown mine away for a x-pipe.

It won't affect your emissions.

It will be loud.

Be well,

I took mine off last month and they sound great. Not very loud at all when you accelerate and very quite at cruise speed.
