Resonator delete pros and cons?

[NVNJ]

Did you do the muffler as well or only the SLP ?

I just put the SLP resonator delete tips on a 6.2 Escalade - I can hear a very very tiny increase in sound, but I think you'd have to KNOW it was done to know there was a change. Had it just been done, I never would have known.

Has anyone experimented with adding a J pipe to the tailpipe?? Its a pretty popular method of eliminating the drone caused by the DOD with the G8 crowd. The right length will eliminate that sound frequency. I understand most are just turning DOD off just though I would mention it for those that want to keep it.

I only did the SLP tip so far - next up will be the Magnaflow muffler - I think it is 12909 for the 6.2. Tony said that gives it a good sound with no drone.

Ok, stupid question, but what is the AFM and DOD referring to? I'm taking a guess that one is regarding Mass Airflow? And if so, how would just the resonator cause change with the air flow sensor? Thank you for any clarifying and sorry for the question...

The AFM/DOD refers to the 8cyl to 4cyl mode that your truck cycles between. Chances are if you go with an aftermarket muffler/resonator delete combo you will end up hearing when this operation occurs. It's bothersome to some people and not others. Personally, it bothers me so I jumped to the and got a Range AFM disabled to remedy the situation until I can get a BB tune come spring time.

If you don't have a 2009 at least I think, you don't have AFM/DOD - I know my 2008 doesn't.

Thanks! I know that mine does not have that feature either. That's probably why I hadn't heard of it before.

We did a muffler delete on a 6.5l esky, 4.5" piping ,super nice crispy, stock when cruising and when you punch it you could hear a nice deeper tone.. Cabin is quiet even on long trips.. Just my .02cent..

Just deleted my resonator and installed a dual tip on my 07 Tahoe. No sound difference other than idle, which is about 5% more throttley, if that's a word. The tips are bigger than the SLP and in my opinion looks better. Will upload pics later.

Can I just delete the resonator and run my truck like that? Then later order the SLP.
