- What Is A Resonator Delete? Wonder no more! I go over the details regarding what a resonator is, what it does, and if a resonator delete is right for you!
What is a resonator delete? This part is pretty straight forwards, it is when you remove the resonator from the exhaust system in your car! But why remove it?

I start by explaining what a Resonator is and how it is constructed. I go over the perforated pipe and metal chamber arrangement, with some material in-between for extra resonance.
Why do we have Resonators? As a result of consumer demand for quieter cars. Quietness is also related to how luxurious a car feels, pushing manufacturers to make their cars as quiet as possible. This was achieved using mufflers. However, mufflers introduce a lot of resistance in the exhaust system which leads to less power and less gas mileage from the car. Engineers needed a device that would make the car quieter as well as not restrict the flow. In comes the Resonator!
I explain why you should not remove your resonator unless you are planning on getting a full custom exhaust!

Someone gave me a free resonator delete when they tried stealing the cat and missed
hahahaha thats hilarious man

@@collingiblin1580 you are y
Literally happened to me 2 days ago 😂😂
Well well.. i just did resonator delete today.. but I actually love the aggressive growling and deeper sound it makes
I did it on my 17 r line Passat I fuckin love it!
I got a muffler and resonator delete on my charger. Sounds amazing
@@Chencho7613 I’m thinking about doing that to my charger, how much you spend ?
@@Hud5o shouldn’t be much depending where you go. Place I’m going for my 5.3 Chevy is only costing me 150$ and that’s with the muffler delete and a 50$ tip getting put. What your partially paying for is the piping they put on in place of the resonator. So for you probs 2-300 if you’re wanting brand new pipe. Mines just cheap cause it’s spare pipe cut from other vehicles
@@Chencho7613 what state do you live in? I live in NC and it’s illegal to have a muffler delete, yet many cars here have them
What a perfect video not just explaining res dlt but also what a resonator is and why it exists
Appreciate it man!
Cheers!
“Some Karen’s” 💀 😂
😂😂ikr? Even back in the 60s
This video is so good - to the point, clear, well explained and factual that not only I have given you a like and sub but I literally clicked several times on your video only to give you a few more extra views. Thank you for posting ❤
Awesome video! I'm watching this after deleting my resonator :-)
Wow awesome video bro you saved me from deleting mine on my F250 i took off stock muffler and put on a flow master series 40 and also removed the little small can resonator and left the big resonator on sounds awesome and zereo drone on the highway...thank you
Hmm... my car is alot louder after a resonator delete, it also has a much deeper tone. I generally get people looking at me while I'm driving 🤣
I was one of them. I saw you
Was that you ?
maybe i’m jus straight up dumb but you did a very well job of explaining this i can’t understand anything abt how every part really works and this video helped a lot keep pushing content man🤝
This video needs more clout ! Thanks brotha !
Appreciate it bro!
You should have millions of subscribers. Thanks for the info
Appreciate the support man!
Hey man, thanks for making such good videos. You deserve more subs my mans.
I appreciate that!
That was a solid explanation man 👍🏻
Damn ur underrated man. Great video appreciate the help !
Thanks for the kind words man! Glad to have helped!
Straight to the point. Great video. Thank you.
appreciate your kind words!
Thanks good info on resonators been trying to find out should i remove mine or leave it on with my new exhaust system.BIG HELP THANKS!!!
Very helpful on how you talk about the actual sound, gracias.
Thanks for making this interesting and informative video 🤘🏻
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Thanks, mine is all rusted didn't know what it was. Took me a week before I found the name and you are the first to explain it in plain English. Now I know I don't want to put a strait pipe there.
It will just cause drone at highway speeds!
What is drone @@BurningRubber416
Man i was actually thinking about putting a sawzall to my resonator for my 6.4 ram 2500. I guess their is no need.
Awesome video brother good stuff!!!!
Glad I could help
great vid explained beautifully . doing a res delete on tuesday on my mazda 3
Good luck! Hope it sounds awesome!
Excellent to the point, clear explanation thank you.
Great video bro, well explained!
Appreciate the feedback man! Cheers
Damn I was gonna delete mine but you changed my mind after watching your video. Great video by the way 👍🏽.
Same thought it makes my car louder
Great video I'm getting my resonator deleted to make sound.
Great video sir
Great info. I'm glad I did just a muffler delete.
Right on! Glad you made the right choice haha!
Nice bro....good knowledge
Just subscribed! Saved me some time
Glad I could help!
Dope video!
Glad you liked it!
Great video!
Appreciate it man!
Nice explanation thanks
Might resonator delete my bicycle now but maybe not I don't want to go too fast.
Safety first!
I always do a resonator delete on all my cars. I never had a problem with drone with the stock mufflers and adds a nice little rumble around town
Nice video
Appreciate it bro, G35 vid coming soon!
I just had a new exhaust system installed in my 1997 XH XR6 and they installed a muffler and a hot dog/resonator at the rear. I wanted a deep sound and the hot dog seems not to give this. The guy said to try it and if no good to take it back and he'll replace with a muffler to give it a deeper sound. Does this sound right? Not sure about having two mufflers though.
What I learned was I’m still doing a resonator delete on my v8 since I want to hear it a bit more at lower rpm but don’t want it to be too aggressive either. The drone reduction you talk about a resonator eliminating on the highway at 2-3000rpm must be vehicle specific because my 10 speed only revs at 1300-1500 on the highway so even an aggressive exhaust doesn’t really drone unless you are towing a very heavy load. Good advice in theory and concept of how the resonator is designed in general though, thanks.
Do you think you can loose power when you do the resonator delete I just did mine and installed a skunk2 exhaust and added a dc Motorsport short intake and I feel like the car off like if I need to step on it harder
Super information
I was about to have mine deleted but I was unaware that it could cause drone while driving on the highway
THANKS FOR THE SAVE,,!!!
A res delete won't give you drone at motorway speeds
A muffler delete will give you drone. resonator actually makes your car sound aggressive with gurgles an pops. However, it also depends on the car. What you could do is, delete the res, then test drive it for a day an decide from there. You may b better off just deleting the res and not the muffler. or install a new type of muffler to keep the drone noise out but still sound aggressive with the res delete.
I cut my muffler off few weeks ago and all i get is turned heads because it sounds amazing when the drone doesnt kick in. In fact, my car sounds expensive until you look at it, then youll just think i have something crazy under my hood. Very unique exhaust tone it gives off.
I had a hole in my resonator. Replaced with straight pipe. Highway drone is super annoying. Also caused havoc with all my electronic sensors. Car would jump out of overdrive to 3rd gear on highway at 65 mph and 2500 rpm. To 3rd gear and 4300 rpm. Perhaps a minute later will go back to overdrive.
Thanks a lot this is helpful. What does a muffler do?
Ima be honest bro everything you said was facts except one thing about resonator not actually changing the volume but only pitch
I just did the resonator delete and my car rev at 4000rpm to 120db and before this mod we was around 90bd so it made it deeper and louder.. your right about everything else
Deleted the muffler and resonators on my 2021 Ram 1500 V8 and have no drone at high speeds. I love and prefer the deep growl it has.
I want to know how resonator lengths can affect the sound
thank you buddy
Glad I could help!
Hey bud i did a muffler delete on my 2017 honda civic hatchback but didn't do much just a little sound comes out but if i do a resonator delete u think is going to be super loud is it worth it on those types of cars?
Subscibed, please make more video 👍👍👍
Thanks bro!
Mainly wanted to get a res delete on my 8V A3 as I have seen videos of it and the sound is much better and louder than just a muffler delete that I currently have. Would you suggest a vibrant resonator to help the drone?
Did you ever get it done I have 2.0 tfsi a3 8v and want it sounding better just not too mad
Nice 👍🏾 bro , Does resonator delete decrease your tq in vqs or power loss
Ayo man that fence called my attention, I used to study in Canada Scarborough in an area called Misty Hills LMAO. Think we were neighbors haha
Subbed
Appreciate it man!
Hi there, now I wanted to add a bit sound to my 09 maxima by deleting one or the other, either the muffler or the resonator, but not both, it's just too loud any info would help..thanx
I would remove the muffler and leave the resonator for more aggressive sound, or remove the resonator only for a much more subtle change in tone
Cool
I got a resonator delete yesterday, no drones whatsoever because the cat and muffler is still there. It just make a raspier noise when revving.
I saw some with and without a resonator i just want to know what it does
Delete resonator make your car feeling racing.. but you must change your mufler to make more loud. Actuali not too noise on low rpm. Noise coming if we kick in the pedal deep. And more noise if rpm more high. In performance acceleration more agresif in low rpm. On hi rpm there is little diferent
Hi burning rubber i just have a silly question. I am not really good with cars but what i did to my car was a downpipe no more catalytic converter and no mufflers. It is just a pipe and resonator i just want to ask thoufh is will it screw my car in the long run or kill the person? I saw an article about if it was parked in bishy areas it could ignite the car
Will not screw your car, you need a tune to get the most out of your downpipe, contrary to popular belief a catless downpipe actually stays cooler than a catalytic converted would because there is less restriction, so technically a catless car would be safer in a bush 😉
Wow, saved me from a big mistake
I know this old but I just brought a 2013 lancer es and it sounds like this car, is there anything I should specifically look for that has a red delete? The ca go has a his muffler and another item which I guess is a cat converter in the middle of the exhaust system, what are the differences between he two?
HKs muffler and another item halfway down the exhaust system*
My mustang GT is definitely louder and raspier after my resonator delete. Still 0 drone though. Thanks to the borla muffler.
I'm driving a 2016 golf mk7 with a muffler delete, I want to get some better noise out of the exhaust without too much droning, would you recommend a performance resonator like something from vibrant, or to delete it altogether?
Try deleting it first - for most noise you want a catless downpipe :)
Getting my resonator delete tomorrow, getting a new muffler isnt making my car as loud as i would like, im going for a deeper and louder sound
Delete the muffler
@@fatboyent4938 will it make it louder than a resonator delete ?
@@malone7866 i think the res just give the car a deep growl type sound. But the muffler delete will make the car a bit louder than stock.
Now of you decided to go & take off the cats, your car would be a lot louder
Got a muffler and resonator delete on my charger...sounds AMAZING
When you delete the muffler again a car shop do they also delete the resonator?
Where can I find the right coding after a muffler delete?
i have a 2019 daytona charger i have my mids off already will me deleting resonator void the warranty and will check engine light come on?
Check engine light will not come on, as for voiding warranty you’d have to contact a dealer anonymously and ask, some will allow it. Keep the resonator for when you want to put it back on
Most consumers I think just wanted a quiet car cuz they don't care for the engine. It was more about having a peaceful drive or being able to un-distractedly talk to others in the car. Having a loud car is about showing aggression and grabbing attention, not something a lotta people wanna be doing.
You are totally correct. Some vehicles even have two sets of resonators, primary and secondary, to make them whisper quiet!
so would a reso delete on a 1.8 subaru impreza give you a it of a rumble sound if i have an aftermarket muffler on ?/
Yes, aftermarket mufflers are much less baffled, so the noise increase will be more noticeable when you remove the resonator
THANK YOU MINE WAS STOLEN ….so I PUT MYSELF A STRAIGHT PIPE …now my car sound like my very old dodge spirit long gone 😂😂😂even thou I’m incline to Honda back then THAT WAS MY BEST CAR EVER
if i put a cutout on my car should i keep the resonator? or will it block out the sound thanks in advance!!
A cutout is a perfect solution, it will bypass the muffler and give you some nice noise! You can remove the resonator since when you have the cutout closed the muffler will absorb most of the noise and when it’s open it won’t really matter if you have the res or not!
Great video and explanation! This is coming from a woman! You explained this better to me than the guy at the muffler shop...
Really appreciate the kind words, glad I could help!
I have a 305 small block in a 95 Sierra and I’ve been thinking about deleting them
V8 is a little different, I was more referring to a 4 cylinder here. You will notice much more noise! Try it out and let me know how it sounds!
Great video, crackin' up at "Some Karen's decided " 😆
Glad you enjoyed it😂
What is a good resonator to make my car have a deeper tone and less drone?
You should look around for Vibrant resonators
3:09 like you're talking to a puppy
Definitely a hell of a lot louder throughout the Rev range of my mkV R32
VR6s and V6s ad even straight 6 engines do respond differently to resonator removal! Always watch a youtube vid of your car with a resonator delete to get a better idea!
a resonator delete makes the idle a lot deeper and adds a little bit of the sound depending on how big it is
So will my car get any louder if I delete my res? I’ve heard mixed opinions so now I’m lost since ive got an aftermarket exhaust but it’s still no where near loud enough
@@when1250 100% will. if its a bigger resonator itll be a lot louder, if its smaller it wont be as loud but itll still get louder.
So add resonator on my Corolla got it ! ✍🏽
Good choice!
For me there is ZERO drone sounds on COMFORT mode. I do hear the exhaust when I floor it but never a drone. There is a slight drone in RACE mode but only if I am getting on the gas at very high speeds. I do notice a very small increase in power in the top end but nothin down low. I'm running boltons on a stage 2 OTS tune for a Golf R and the car is pretty baller..
👍👍👍
great im getting resonator delete
I want to make my car sound good and slightly louder. How can I achieve this?
Why doesnt he have 12 million subs????
My 2009 resonator delete will not pass NYS INSPECTION ON A 2009 Impala will not show on scanner
Thanks man. I have muffler delete on my genesis but its not loud enough. I put my new intake on and a new blowoff valve. The spool of the tirbo is now louder than my exhaust and it sounds funny. I just need the ass end of the car to to louder. Do u have any advice on getting my car tuned?
I would recommend a catless or high flow catted DP - this mod adds the most power and I’m sure you know you NEED a downpipe in order to get tuned- it will also make your car louder :)
@@BurningRubber416 thanks man. Im wondering if an exhaust shop would carry one or if its too specific for my car i would need to order one.
@@navyplumberboy8274 I doubt that a shop would have one on hand, I would look on genesis forums on facebook, or buy this one

@@BurningRubber416 thanks for replying. I now remember everyone saying getting one. Power and sound is what im aiming for. Just not sure whether to delete stock cats cuz of back pressure.
@@navyplumberboy8274 Depending on where you live, if you can get away with it I would say remove them. It will get you more power, quicker turbo spool, and louder exhaust note, probably some nice pops too. Plus with a tune and catless downpipe, that's how you see the biggest gains!
One very important thing to note regarding this video and the recommendation to not get a delete is that what is said about drone is NOT true for ALL makes and models. Some, yes, will drone. Others may not.
I say this as I saw this video today, coincidentally after I made the call for my shop to remove my resonator and replace with straight pipe. I made this call not because I thought it would sound cool or be awesome, but because my resonator split and the after market is on national back order for my model (late model Taurus). So I decided to save the time and money.
Turns out it was an awesome decision. The tone is excellent and there’s zero drone. My exhaust also did get louder.
So to say don’t do it because of drone, is not the best advice. Because that advice is wrong for some model cars. Granted my shop noted that mine turned out really well and that some GM models end up sounding goofy afterward.
Best bet would be to call a reputable shop (or muffler shop) and ask if they’ve removed the resonator for your exact make / model and ask how it turned out.
Just my thoughts. The video explanation of all else is great!
Tim thank you so much for your kind words! You are absolutely correct, some Subarus with flat plane engines also sound different with the resonator. You are totally correct in what you’re saying, some cars will actually sound a little better without the resonator, however it is a little bit of a gamble, always best to do research first! Thank you for your comment, I will make a follow up video and explain more about this! Cheers 🍻
@@BurningRubber416 No worries man! I actually found this video so I could actually explain what the resonator does in more detail when I was talking with my fiancé. We’re both technical people and I know a fair amount about cars and such - you tend to when your last car was a junker. So I really like the way you explained everything.
But yeah, I just wanted to throw my experience out there because I know there are some folks that do like to experiment - especially with their exhaust, who might be turned away - when it actually could work out for them.
Part of me also wonders how much the size of the engine plays in how it sounds. I would think that the higher the cylinder count, the more throaty and natural sounding (nice, for simplicity) the car would sound afterward. But eh, who knows!
So if I delete the muffler and keep the resonator I get no drone and better mpg?
If your trying to have your car loud but not too much drone on highways and long distance drives then keeping the resonator on will help with that
I love how you described the people as “Karens” 😂
When he said some Karens 😂😂😂
OG Karen's from the 60's
I have a 2011 g37 coupe, would a resonator delete take any hp away or damage my car in any way?
Hey there, it will not damage the car or take away any hp!
how does it sound?
Might not technically be louder but it seems like it is.
I straight piped my resantater and it made it louder
I have an appointment tomorrow for my 2019 Ram to do a resonator delete 🤣 I put a Flowmaster 10 now the resonator.. it's loud but not loud enough for me
Eyyy, gotta fine tune it until you get the sound you want ;)
@@BurningRubber416 I plan to put headers on it in the spring of 22 and do a tune.. should add more power and sound 🤞
@@macwiller2105 Right on man!
I had mines done on a Accord Coupe, much deeper powerful sound, but not loud
I have a 08 accord coupe I was thinking of getting a magna flow muffler and resonator delete, do you think that would make it louder and aggressive
@@markcullen2870 if your adding to the muffler or changing it, then it’s a great combination. But if you remove the muffler along with the resonator delete, then that’s just too loud in my opinion. So it sounds like your combination will give it some more aggression, but not too loud.
@@ti253799 yea I meant getting a resonator delete and then replacing my stock muffler with a magna flow muffler, would that be to loud? Basically what I’m going for is a nice little dark rumble that people around me can hear but not the entire fucking highway lol
@@markcullen2870 just do the Magna Flow, keep the resonators, should be spot on. Or do the Magna Flow with a partial resonator delete if you have more than one resonator.
@@ti253799 I drive a 2008 4 cyl coupe so idk I’ll chek tomorrow lol
So I have vibrant mufflers will a resonator delete make it louder because I have 2 resonator rn and it’s not that loud
no it will not make it louder
@@BurningRubber416 what about replacing it with like a vibrant one?
@@cortezek9982 What car do you have and what is your setup? From downpipe back
@@BurningRubber416 it’s a Acura TSX 2008 and everything is stock, the only thing I changed was the mufflers and took off one resonator
So you’re saying a catless downpipe with muffler delete would be perfect on 4 cylinders?
For the Mk7 GTI its too much, sure you can drive it like that but its super loud and tractor like - some cars however will sound good like that, just depends!!!
The resonator delete on my r line Passat made my car much louder, it does make cars louder you are wrong on that part. I couldn’t hear a thing from my exhaust before.
What gives off more horsepower delete muffler or resonator
None, get a downpipe
Neither of these mods will offer you any real hosepower gains , as David says, get a downpipe and tune for more power 😀
I heard resonated delete takes away low end power from your car performance is this tru
Just cut my exhaust from the resonator to make a side pipe, now I only have one cat and the rest is straight pipe, on my 95hp Mercedes:D
Thank you now I’ll just get a straight pipe up to the resinator
This is the best option for getting both sound and minimizing that extremely raspy exhaust note you get from straight piping most cars !
But how loud would it be if you got a resonator delete ?
i did a resonator and cat delete on my 735i and its still almost silent, no drone at all. you can only really hear it at high rpm
Interesting choice, and your left the muffler? Your 735i may also have a secondary res or muffler
@@BurningRubber416 its straight pipes all the way back into the muffler. nothing in between.
Where would you put the resonator before the muffler or after the muffler
Haha stupid question
