Dont get your resonators removed. Save up for a exhaust that goes from the cats back. Magnaflow is 496.00 shipped to your door.

Only if you want to make it louder and if you're looking for more HP gains.

The magnaflow cat-back is only 496 shipped, thats a great deal if your looking for an exhaust. A lot of positive reviews on here.

If i were you i would wait until i had enough money for an exhaust rather than removing resonators or putting a straight pipe. That may be more attention then your looking for.

HFC's are good, but they are in the ballpark of $500 new, anyways.

goodluck

Like the other guys said, you can just take out the resonators, but that will just make it sound raspy rather than different. If you don't have that much to put into it right now, the magnaflow os the best deal. If you till don't wanna pay the $500 or so to get the full catback, I remember someone here got a custom magnaflow muffler for less I believe.
