Resonator Delete without SLP or other tips

[08HoeCD]

I've thinking about cutting off my resonator and NOT adding on any tip(s). The SLP Kit looks good, but I may prefer having a completely clean rear bumper valance.

I know of at least one member on here who runs this setup. Anyone else run this? Any issues?

I think there would probably be some kind of issue with exhaust fumes getting into the cabin when the truck is not moving.

Yeah, that's my concern and why I'm hesitant.

I cut my resonator off right where it connects. So the tailpipe only shorten up the length of the resonator, so I don't know if that adds to exhaust fumes getting into the cabin?

cut my resonator off 6 years ago now and 0 issue with exhaust fumes. I original went with the SLP setup but those are a HUGE pain to keep clean so I took them off.

I was wondering how cutting it off did to the sound?

Did virtually nothing to the sound honestly.

Thx @07Burb for your input on the resonator delete and no tips again. The clean look without any tips could be a winner @ubervic

10 minutes, no $$ spent and an instant mod minus that stupid dangling coffee can that changes nothing, but a clean looking side and no worries about getting exhaust on your waffle weave towel when drying.

Hmmm...I'm feeling a power tool moment coming soon....

 

[07Burb]

do et!!! You won't regret it and going forward you'll always be annoyed when you see others driven around town still sporting that ugly POS resonator back there. What an eye sore.

To be continued....

You the man.

What happened to the SLP tip?

What happened to the SLP tip?

@NeverSatisfied bought it a year or so ago.

Been considering doing something with mine. Thinking of a header cut out with electric dump and paint rear section exhaust black to hide it.

Thanks Burb...I wouldn't mind a little rumble but not looking for much.

Hmmm......good feedback, and no real threat of issues related to exhaust fumes.

Just got my hands on a sawzall. I wonder exactly where to cut---around 8" up from the welded resonator hanger, a la SLP's directions?

Bought it for a Tahoe put it on a silverado lmao

Because never satisfied...

Then get the Magnaflow 12589....offers a little bit of a rumble but not overly loud where the wife or GF will hate you.

yep...just cut where you'd cut as if putting the SLP tips on and you're good
