Resonator delete?

[SILVER SLED]

Has anyone deleted just the resonator (the farthest back "muffler")? Any sound clips of this? I'm just looking for a cheap way to hear the motor, but not too much.

Deleted my muffler only, left flapper and resonator. Sounds great, I would recommend it. Under normal driving it has just enough growl to hear it, but 0 drone and once the revs hit around 2500 it sounds mean.

No doubt that sounds good. But I don't want it that loud. I don't want the truck to sound like I messed with the exhaust. I like the sound of the stock last gen 6.2 Denali and escalades.

Ahh. I know what you mean as I had an 11 6.2. This sounds louder in the video then it actually is, but it's still louder then the old 6.2 exhaust, but not by all that much. I'd go ahead and just delete the resonator, what's the worst that will happen?

[SILVER SLED]

I think you need to get your truck down here so I can hear it in person. lol

Yeah just don't go searching for recalls for me now! If you search youtube for the 2015 5.3 muffler delete, that sounds quite a bit quieter then mine. You gotta remember mines a 6.2 and that was a cold start.

I've heard muffler delete, but not a resonator delete. I think I'm gonna delete the resonator, and if it's too quiet I'll replace the muffler with one from a Trailblazer SS. If that muffler can flow enough to push my old 6.0 Trailblazer through the 1/4 mile in the 12's, it should flow enough for this truck, and it's free since I have one in my garage.

Zero drone? In v4? my 5.3 with the muffler delete sounds great, sounds like a truck finally (and i hate loud exhaust) but the v4 drone is absolutely unbearable. Like I'm being chased by police copters. Its almost disorienting. And I have a sneaking suspicion it doesnt kick into v4 mode as much any more (not that mad about it), not that my gas mileage has been effected really.

Both Silver and I have diablosport tuners. Yes if I leave v4 mode on it sounds horrendous, but I have that disabled.

I chopped off my resonater and installed a CAI and I think the sound is great, but to each his own I say

[towdog333]

Just want to add I installed a flowmaster muffler and then cut off the resonater

Any sound clips? Do you have drone in v4 mode?

No sound clip but I guess when I get around to it I'll do one

I did the same thing and it sounds good until V4 mode kicks in thenit sounds like crap. Got to figure something else out
