I was thinking about picking up the SRT cat back again, and i was curious. I know with the SRT mid pipe it has 2 resonators. Does the R/T have any or is it just a straight pipe going back to the muffler?

I don't have the time to really look under my car to check.

straight pipe. Resonators with a muffler is pointless.

just thought i would ask...

The rt/acr's have a dual chamber resonator in the midpipe.

well how would it sound? really loud, i had the srt axle back on my old 01 and it was loud as balls until i put the mid pipe in.

i'm hoping that it would keep it quiet on the r/t

I'd use a glasspack.

and that is the stock R/T mid pipe?

Yes.

I hacked mine out of my '03 r/t and took a look inside it. It’s basically a perforated 2.25”pipe with an outer casing/chamber. I’m unsure if it has any packing inside the chamber as I never cut mine open to find out when I removed it.

eh.. that should be quiet enough for me, The cops never bother me around here with that kinda crap.

Now to get my friend to pick up the SRT axle back from her friend and get it fitted right.

Newbie here, I thought the resonator was a box and not in the pipe? I just bought an 01 ACR and haven't taken the time to look.

There is a bullet type chamber in the mid pipe which is a resonator for the exhaust. In the intake assembly there is a resonator that is more like a box, which if you haven't done so yet, you should remove

Alright, how do I locate and remove the resonator box in the intake assembly?

It will "bolt" right in with no mods to the exhaust. The inlet of the srt is the same diameter as the base Neon exhaust. the hangers and all line right up. the hardest part is getting the original muffler off. soak it with penetrating oil and some heat, tapping with a mallet will usally get it loose, then twist the muffler up and down to get it to slide off. This is assuming that your exhaust is not modified.

Well, I want to say that there is a picture post about this, but in a nutshell there is a resonator box mounted behind the bumper in front of the drivers side front wheel. The intake are goes through this camber before it gets to your air box. Getting to all the fasteners can be tricky, but if you can remove the front wheel (optional) and loosen the front part of the fender splash shield, it will make things a lot easier.

Not only will it free up the flow to the engine, but it saves a good amount of weight

Sorry about the thread jack

i hacked my srt mid section to fit a 31" glass pack resonatore. I also hacked the resonatores from the mid section and they were empty.. guessing thats why they were laud as hell..
