Pros n Cons Resonator delete

[Whitehot]

Just wondering the pros n cons of Resonator delete for 2017 GT. I ve always hated them and wondered if there was much benefit to removing them ? Sound , maybe a little, in theory, a little more free flow... might be kinda expensive ??

I heard that the drone can be pretty bad.

Res delete on mine, no none zero drone. Went against the grain with an H pipe, like the sound.

My Magnaflow over axle pipes have no resonators. No drone.

The '15 up 5.0 comes with a mid ship resonator, huge n heavy as fawk.

It sounded pretty good the way it was at track day.

Mine also has active exhaust, quiet - more + even more.

I have a full borla s-type exhaust with x-pipe. Love the way it sounds, no drone and it gets complements on the regular. If you want something a little more subdued but more aggressive than stock then a resonator delete is it. Either x-pipe or h-pipe would do.

Personally on a stock exhaust I would add an h-pipe for a more traditional muscle car sound and slight bump in torque. The x-pipe will provide slightly more HP but no real torque gains.

Steeda makes either in stainless, and their a bunch of other manufacturers that offer them as well. As for downside, not much of a downside to removing the resonator IMO.

I think all politicians already hate us for numerous reasons.

I was looking at Borla, great sound however, the price was more than Magnaflow and the over axle pipes were the same size as my stock pipes. Magnaflow had 2.5” pipes versus 2.25” from Borla.

Changing to the Ford Performance X pipe changed everything from the hybrid H pipe. The car wasn’t held back anymore. Much much better exhaust flow.

Keep in mind I have a V6.

It s got Roush Mufflers, so I ll leave those... and look into an "H" pipe i think would do what I m wanting nicely , thx
