is there a company that makes one....nnbs

Makes a what? To delete your resonator all you have to do is cut it off. If you're looking for tips to them finish it off after you've cut it off SLP makes a nice unit for about 115 shipped (approximately). Volant also makes a nice set up as well.

If you click my "2007 Suburban Info" link in my sig you'll find the part number for the SLP unit. There's a few on here that run the Volant unit but I can't remember who right off the top of my head.

:waytogo: Sounds good! For what it's worth, it's very easy to do on your own or if you need a shop to do it most will do the install for $50 or so.

Make sure that whatever you get is 3.5" pipe. Most of the aftermarket resonator delete "kits" are for the suburban / non denali models with the smaller engine and use a smaller 3" pipe.

I was unable to find a kit for my nnbs denali xl, so ended up buying a couple tips and having an exhaust shop make a custom setup for mine. FYI, it is significantly louder in the 6.2 without the resonator. I will say that I like the sound, but it is flirting with being too loud for my liking. It makes a stock denali seem quiet.

Any pics of what you did?

Sorry, haven't been on here for a couple days. I don't have any great ones, but I will go snap one today and post it up for you.

I took some pics, please ignore the dirty-as-hell tips... its been super sloppy here lately.
I had the shop put a couple bends in it so you couldn't see any pipe besides the tip from the back or side. Came out pretty nice IMO
The tips are stainless magnaflow 4" angle cut tips

I like it. When i drove away from the exhaust shop I though OH SHIT... but now that i've gotten used to the sound level it really isn't bad. There is no drone at highway speeds, and is maybe only slightly louder than stock. Around town is where you are going to notice it, especially if you are getting it up between 2500 and 3000 rpm... then its a screamer!

After reading this thread, I went out to look at my Yukon (just bought 3 weeks ago) and I don't have the resonator. Never noticed the sound inside, but I didn't notice the little rumble when remote starting it from outside the truck.

It should be a pretty good rumble if its all stock minus the resonator. Mine had a little rumble before, but mostly just noticeable on the outside.
Here are a couple pics of the resonator:

Yeah, that's not on the back of my truck. Just straight off the muffler all the way back to a chrome tip. Maybe I just don't get on it enough to hear it...

Nice. I can't believe GM doesn't sell these things with a decent tip on them from the factory. At least the NBS denali's and escalades had something on there to make it look nicer (with the exception of 2003's).
