Yes, it won't get caught up on things and it will sound better... both major downfalls... just make sure you get a pipe in there to exit the exhaust from under the car.. either out the back [you can raise it a bit], or down towards the driver side QP.

hopefully by weeks end.. gotta get an alignment so I'll try to get a shop to do it at the same time [weld a nice pipe in place of it].

Here are some picture, a little muddy but what the hell.
I used some 2" box steel for my brace, bolted to the bumpers slider and to factory drilled holes.
Shot if you have any questions.

ok i got a borla exhaust. can i still cut the rear resonator. and if so.. what exactly is it? thansk bro.

rear resonator is just the big drum all the way at the end of the exhaust... I don't see why you couldn't remove it... as far as I know, all its for is to dampen the sound.
