I had a FEW extra dollars burning a hole in my checking account so I randomly decided to have the center resonator deleted from my '04 Aero. I brought it to a local custom exhaust shop and they sawed out the resonator and welded in a piece of straight pipe. It took them about 20 minutes and 3' of pipe. 85 bucks. Somehow I feel like it would have been cheaper had I pulled up in something other than a Saab... Whatever, they did a good job, and I can probably sell the chunk they removed.
The sound didn't change dramatically. It's deeper and throatier, maybe a tiny bit louder all under 3k rpm. As soon as you pass that though, it sounds the same. It sounds AWESOME when you start it cold and the engine is revving higher than normal idle, and has a bit more burble when I downshift (using the stupid paddle shifters). Would I spend $85 to do it again? Probably not. But I'm not disappointed.
