Did a thing today... Resonator Delete

[arbies]

Thanks for the instructions!
Have you noticed any drone after the delete?

The first time I tried to delete the large resonator, I had a different set of clamps that didn't taper down and used less sealant, and I think I had an exhaust leak, and it resulted in a drone around 3k RPM. Later, I re-did everything with the tapered clamps I mentioned above and more sealant, and I'm not noticing any exhaust leaks and very minimal drone.

best $150 I've spent!

Beautiful deep tone with absolutely no drone. This Type R is even more of a pleasure to drive now!

THIS IS HOW THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE ALWAYS SOUNDED!

Any check engine light stuffs?

No check engine light.

MRT's website is saying the RD will be 199.99

I'm probably gonna do this. Also bonus that it is made in Plymouth, MI!

Will aftermarket exhaust be worth it over this you guys think?? For $200 it's tempting..
Also, are you cutting off the old pipe and welding this in place?

That just depends on what you want. Doing a resonator delete will just retain the stock sound and just make it louder. Aftermarket exhausts will completely alter the harmonics.

You can weld it in if you want, typically when you buy a kit it will come with clamps to secure the new pipe in place.

Has any one deleted both resonators and kept stock muffler? Can’t seem to find any videos or reviews on that

Im wondering this as well. I have my mid chopped off and it sounds wonderful but now I wanna take it one step further and remove the front as well.. I don’t wanna screw myself if it ends up sounding bad

I removed the larger resonator, and this past weekend installed the TSP (aka PRL) catted downpipe, and that made the tone slightly deeper, and added a few burbles every once in while. I'm mostly happy with the sound. I'm afraid to remove the other, smaller resonator for fear of introducing drone (it's pretty much drone-free right now). The last thing I'll probably do with the exhaust is get the PRL frontpipe and see how that goes.

Something I noticed that I thought was interesting is it looks like the FK8 doesn't have that front resonator:

But the FL5 does:

ITS (looks more like FK8):

So it's kind of odd since the FK8 is so quiet that the FL5 and and ITS sound so much better without a front resonator. But they do (maybe because of the valved center pipe?) so I guess that's all the matters!

I remove the larger resonator and the noise is higher but not substantial. I was contemplating about removing the first resonator. I am going to hold off and wait for downpipe because afraid rasp without any resonator

I preordered MRT's resonator delete. Will report back how it works. It appeals to me because it basically gives the CTR the exhaust setup that the ITS has.

Any ETA?
