disco mike do you have a sound file of your truck after you cut off the rear resonator? also, will a hacksaw do the job?

Funrover · 02-26-2007, 04:24 PM

LMAO... Yes.. A hack saw it the hard way... but it will do it.... It sounds nice man........

SCSL · 02-26-2007, 05:30 PM

I can't speak for DiscoMike, but hacksaw would take quite awhile...
I used a sawzall........ and it was still a bitch to cut thru.

What'd you guys do to extend it? Clamp on or weld on? If it was a clamp/bolt on.. does it hold up to offroad abuse? And what did you use?

Actually being the old fart I am, i used a hack saw, came off in under two minutes. I was going to run an extension out the side and nevere did, an it hasn't caused me any problems in the last 4 years.
Cutting it off gave me the extra clearance I was looking for when I installed my rear bumper.

sound file mike? does it sound good? is it annoying, or good sounding?

Disco Mike · 02-26-2007, 06:44 PM

It sounds ggod, especially on the trail at lower RPM's when climbing, nice and mellow but by no means noisey.

Awesome!!! i am headed outside right now to cut it off!!! hope my arm doesn't fall off from hacking...

There's not enough of a change in the sound to even worry about. Here's what mine sounds like. http://www.panteraplace.com/Audio/Mi...te%2031101.wav

piece of cake!!!! easier than i thought! it sounds great!!!

toyota_jon · 02-26-2007, 07:13 PM

yes there is also the method of sliding down an ice covered hill and catching the resonator on the hill and breaking it off. but i think your way is the more controlled way lol.

If your arm hasn't fallen off from wacking, a little hacking won't hurt it.

Yeah, it's a very subtle sound difference...

I did it just for clearance.

We need to get out to the GW and howl at the moon.
