resonator and header

[ericdd]

Right now I have a Ractive muffler and the exaust shop said that removing the resonator would make a big difference in performance but
will removing the resonator from the exaust make the car alot louder or just change the sound. i would like to keep my car as quiet as possible so would putting a glass pack in it's place be of any benifit.

How much louder would the header make the car.

Leave the resonator in. Removing it will not make any noticeable difference in performance and it will get loud as hell. If you have a stock B pipe, getting a larger one made up with an aftermarket resonator, it should still be quiet and it will flow better. Be aware that exhausts don't really make any power on our cars.

The header won't add any noticeable noise.

It's just a 4" round muffler from many places. I kind of like Magnaflow. They are on the web. I'm not impressed with Dynomax products.

wait, are we talking about the very end part of the exhaust, the muffler part? or the resonator, the one under the car, where you cant see it unless you look under? can you use a normal muffler for the resonator?
