Hi guys,
i have the HKS super dragger exhaust on my gts-t, and it is really quiet.
I have been told the the super draggers have resonators on them to keep the sound down. Is it possible to remove this so it sounds louder???

from memory isnt there a small muffler at the frt,if so just remove that

yep dean, youre right.
If i removed that, could i just replace it with the same size pipe?

I had exactly this done to my super dragger.

It now sounds a fair bit louder and really rips up top. Definitely commend it.

When I had the resonator taken out - it was smaller than the rest of the pipe, so it was probably causing a restriction aswell.

you won't regret doing it

SPDRCR: which part is the resonator in? I have the front pipe which comes down then halfway down the car there is this cylindrical thing which i think is it, then it comes to a rectangular shaped muffler, then right at the end goes to a really big cylindrical muffler i think.
Is the first one the resonator???

andrew,the cylindrical thingy as u call it is the catalytic convertor.dont bother removing that as i fitted a hiflow cat to your car.the next one is the one you want to remove.its the second one in line.

thanks dean,
i might take it to the local exhaust workshop and see if they can remove it, and just fit the same size piping.
