The big box that goes here is gone! Its a little louder to where its noticeable and the tip fills out the cut out space in the bumper.

ill get better pics tomorrow when its cleaner and lighter outside

**hommie** · 11-01-2009, 11:11 AM

He took out the last resonator (the boxy thing right before the tip), It gives a little more sound.

How much did you pay to get that removed?

A sawzall and 5 minutes.

**foxtrot685** · 11-01-2009, 05:23 PM

it look a little more than a sawzall and 5 minutes thats for sure! it took a sawzall, a pipe bender, a welder, 35 minutes, and a little under $50.

**HeiKe** · 11-01-2009, 07:28 PM

holy *****. i wanna do that. is that legal? like as in for like emissions testing and whatnot? will it mess it up?

**HeiKe** · 11-01-2009, 07:28 PM

foxtrot i wanna see your s2000

**foxtrot685** · 11-01-2009, 07:47 PM

its only a resonator, there's no emission material in it; so i don't see how it would be illegal. a resonator just mellows out the tone of the exhaust and sometimes makes things a little quieter. i like it better without it and i like how its loud when i start it up for the first time on cold mornings, lol.

also i only have an s2000 radio antenna as seen here...

**gilliam** · 11-05-2009, 08:28 AM

is that antenna pointing forward?... like a unicorn

i thought the lunchbox was a necessary muffler.

**Focusfre4k** · 11-08-2009, 01:46 AM

No, That would be an 08+ focus.

depends where you live.

The cat's are the "needed" part. The muffler, not so much.
