SLP Resonator Delete

[potvingpr1]

Just did the resonator delete to my '08 z71....exactly what I was looking for! No extra noise at high way speed and just enough to turn heads at the stop sign....to me it has a stock C5 corvette sound..love it!

 

[sbubbaklein]

love mine. Can still hear radio and no highway drone

Turns heads at the stop sign?

Stock escalade is louder

 

[potvingpr1]

I disagree, it's louder than an escalade but not by much.

And a helluva lot cheaper. I measured mine at idle at 36" and it was about 2 db louder than stock.

Mine didn't seem to do much, but look better. Its louder on cold starts when the idle is up a bit, but once its warm I notice no difference from before. I was expecting a bit more than I got. Oh, well. Still looks much better.

Weird, maybe my muffler is rotting on the inside because mine is way louder, all the time

 

[Nealgobert]

Is this something that would be expensive to do?

 

[potvingpr1]

The kit is $95 and takes about 30 mins to install

$95 for the 5.3L
$160 for the 6.2L

Pardon the ignorance, but by SLP resonator delete, I assume you guys are talking about swapping out the stock resonator with an SLP aftermarket resonator?

Would just like to be sure, because I recently installed the Magnaflow 12589 muffler and had the shop completely remove the stock resonator and it's a bit too loud at highway speeds.. Would like to throw an aftermarket resonator on there to get a happy medium. Thanks guys

this is what we are talking about, a dual exhaust tip that replaces resonator

Can't you have the shop that did your exhaust work put the stock resonator back on?

 

[Goodinblack]

Everyone here says the 12589 is very quiet.

You have the stock resonator?

 

[RollinHorns]

Yes I still have the stock resonator, but when I had the Magnaflow muffler installed originally, I had the resonator left in place. It was too quiet for me so I went back and had them remove it. It's great except at high way speeds, there is quite a bit of drone. Just wondering if an aftermarket resonator will be somewhere in between the two extremes of stock res and no res. Any thoughts?

 

[Goodinblack]

Put stock resonator back on imo

Or look into a J pipe

 

[vt_hokie2008]

How did you all cut off the stock resonator? I'm guessing I need a sawzall.

Yes

 

[sbubbaklein]

you can use a hack saw or cut off wheel and hs grinder

 

[73shark]

I used a Sawzall. Remember measure twice and cut once. Or is it the other way around?
