Any thoughts? has anyone done this before?
While removal of the stock resonator didn't yield any sound gains it does weigh about 10lbs so I guess I did a minor weight reduction for $65 today.
Sorry about the picture quality i'll try and get a better shot of the internals tomorrow when the sun is up.
