ahh i see... im not sure if you noticed any power difference but when i took my resonator out i lost quite a significant amount of power... i asked around and i was told this was because by deleting the resonator i lowered the back pressure on the exhaust causing it to loose power... so thats one reason why i want to put the resonator back on... but we'll see what happens idk

its possible. i know the 2.8 makes a lot of its torque in the backpressure, but i dont think i noticed it much. for me it was just a light loss in low end torque but it definitely benefitted from being able to breathe at high rpm. but i also gutted my airbox too
