2 step DIY:
1. cut the resonator off.
2. weld a section of exhaust piping in it's place.

The resonator has nothing to do with emissions testing. This is a fairly easy mod if you know how to weld, otherwise an exhaust shop would be able to do it fairly quickly for you. Seems people pay between $20 and $40 to have it done.

you're right....one of these days I'm going to have to learn to read...(as someone who doesn't have a resonator anywhere in his exhaust system). just have to watch for cops with sound level (dB) meters...

There was a guy who has done this, I remember reading it around this time last year.
Afterward, he said not to do it! The sound became very raspy and thin, not much louder either.
I was gonna do it, but then I turn around!

I just saw this covered in here last week.
Do a search for "resonatorectomy" LOL
Seriously, you'll get writeups, after reading I already purchased the piping (Pep Boys, $7 bucks for an 18" section of stainless 2.5" exhaust piping), removed my b-pipe and am awaiting on a friend to TIG it up
