I baught my 99 CSVT almost 1 year ago and now I'm starting to add a few mods. I've ordered a KKM intake so far. I am wondering if there are any benefits of having the resonator removed completely or should it be replaced with a high-flow unit? What are the pros and cons of each??? Thanks in advance.
to resonate or not to resonate...?!

Replace it with a high flow. With no res, you will have alot of rasp.
Cool!, any suggestions on which ones to look at?
I've heard of people having good results with eldelbrock as well as magnaflow.

Why not get a whole cat back? I'm sure you'd post better gains with a whole system...
You're right, I don't want the rasp, but the budget right now isn't allowing a whole cat back system. I was thinking of things I could do a little at a time. Also, I need to replace the tires and I've looked at the Kuhmo's... Does anyone know anything about them?
Compared to the KDWs, not as much grip. However, much quieter and much better wear.

What size you looking at?
When I had my '99 Contour SVT I replaced the resonator with a straight pipe. The raspy sound was more noticeable when the exhaust was cold. When the exhaust warmed up (after driving a min. or two) then it was only noticeable under hard acceleration. I also hollowed out two of the cats w/a crowbar.
