why do you want to remove the resonators?

[Jonathan13]

to gain some sound out of it, but too cheap to buy an exhaust system or an intake

[Thrizzl3]

my advice to you is to keep it stock. Just because...lol

[Jackal]

Hey. What some people do is buy a MS3 exhaust and then do a res delete. Planning to diy or get a shop to do it?

[kilo4321]

Intake res Or exhaust res OP?

[Kiyomi]

to gain some sound out of it, but too cheap to buy an exhaust system or an intake

drill some holes in the exhaust.

[Cab0oze]

drill some holes in the exhaust.

lol drilling holes in your muffler is not the same as deleting a resonator

I cant help as we're talking about Gen2s but a lot of people removed one or two resonators on their gen1 and loved the result

[mathew.poulos]

I did the delete on my exhaust. A little rice-y, but I like

[Aitch]

Why not just replace the muffler and keep the resonator? Probably get a nicer tone out of that. I mean if you're going to do work...

Have shop locate resonator, have shop remove resonator.

Not sure what you're lost about, unless you're on your way to a shop and can't find it, in that case I suggest google maps or gps

Or your shop can't find it.
In which case I'd suggest using Google maps to find a new shop

ANYWAY, I removed my resonator in my old setup, made it sound tin-y.

Here's a video I took from 2 years ago. This was with a Short Ram and resonator delete. Everything else was stock.

Wow, res delete does not sound very good.. I didn't expect it to be such a high tone.

+1 to Aitch's suggestion if all you want is sound.

Racing beat exhaust is axel-back. Go with that maybe? It's gonna cost you but I think you'll be happier with the result.

i was gonna do a muffler delete. doesnt sound too bad and its cheap. then i got a MS3 exhaust with magnaflow resonator and muffler and i like it. drones just a tiny bit. but at highway speeds, the mazda 3 (first gen) is noisy. this was the video that made me wanna do the muffler delete:

[Jonathan13]

how did u do it? can any one at home do it?

[Jonathan13]

oh and another thing, being new i have no idea how to change my profile pic, if someone could help me out and NOT be a dick about it that would be much appreciated

[silverstarmazda]

^ you mean the muffler delete? yea, its possible to do it at home if you get a welder and pipe cutter. all you gotta do is cut the muffler out, and weld a pipe in place. you can always do it the getto way and just use hose clamps or couplers that can stand heat.

also: ill pm you how to change ur profile pic

Here's a (temporary) muffler delete on a 2.0L for the 2010, during the middle of an install to see what it sounded like.
