Cobalt SS Resonator

[SedanSS]

I have a cobalt ss with the 2.4 I have a Magnaflow muffler and it sounds great, i reccomend it to all compact racers. My cobalt has a resonator on it though, why? So basically it has two mufflers? If i were to take off the resonator; would it sound bad? Would it mess with the o2 sensors, or the computer? Has anyone did this?

Resonators are usually installed to reduced engine 'droning' noise on hywy runs. They are not restrictive, just more added parts, weight and expense IMO. Try it w/out to see if the drone drives you nutz. It's music to a lot of drivers ears.

Thanks for the reply, but could you describe "drone"?

Like the sound of a tractor-trailer with stacks & no mufflers cruising at highway speeds. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....... The old Chevy Cavalier 2.2L (non-OHC) and iron duke 2.5L have a buzzing drone tone to them as well.
