I have a hole in my exhaust about 2 feet behind my muffler, but instead of just repairing it i want to go ahead and put a new muffler and resonator/pipe.

My question is should I remove the resonator and go with regular pipe? Should i find an O.E. resonator and keep it stock? should i go with bigger pipe? I have a weber conversion on it already.

If you could give me some suggestions on what You would do, or where i should look to find parts/information, i'd appreciate it.

Still a lot of work to do.

 

I'd personally get rid of the resonator.

I'd go header/exhaust manifold , down pipe , cat(if needed for emissions) , 2-2.25" pipes out the *** end , and finish with a muffler of your choice.

(I chose magnaflow for a tad bit deeper sound --really enjoy it too)
