i've seen it discussed several times.

something that changes alot of minds on it though is that the chambered muffler sold in Summit (or jegs) has 3" inlet/outlet, but the inside of the chamber is only 2.5"

that could cause quite a restriction on a otherwise very free-flowing exhaust

I know many people have replaced the resonator with a Borla XR-1 race muffler. Haven't seen one in person, but from what I've heard it is fairly common and many say it sounds great.

Been there done that and LOVE it. I had mine made up so I can change out the resonator for the stick whenever my mood changes in about 15 min using muffler bands. Send Mike a buzz over at http://www.sweet-thunder.com Hes easy to work with and gets back to you pretty fast. PS: the 2.5 vs 3 inch is a bunch of garbage doesnt matter in real world driving 1 bit.
