DIY resinator replacement
This seems to be a common acurance for us SL owners from what i here ... so this is for the diyers out there
I did this becuase mine is rusted out and a replacement cost anywhere from $72 to $224 what you will need: 1: 2in inlet/outlet 30in long cherry bomb or 2in inlet/outlet 30in long peice of pipe 1: 2in outside diamter to 1 3/4 in inside diamiter reducer if not welding in 2: 2in exhaust clamp 1: 1 3/4 exhausr clamp 14mm socket (may vary) ratchet jack jack stands or lift hacksaw,exhaust pipe cutter, sawzall, cutting wheel, somthin to cut the exhaust with.... Step1: put on lift and raise or jack up the car and put on jack stands(as high as safely possible)(4 will make this easier too) Step2: locate rusted resinator Step3: cut out rusted res (cut close to the end of the res) Step4: put adapter onto back part of the exhaust.. Step 5: put bomb/pipe onto adapter Step6: put bomb/pipe on to pipe (cat side) Step7: weld or tighten exhaust clams Step8: fire it up and hear your result I did mine today with the cherry bomb u cant tell the difference from stock... on a side note:strait peice of pipe will be somewhat louder... when i called the dealer to get a price on the parts they even said instead of spending $224 on it from them what i can do is stick a peice of pipe in there only dif is it will be a little louder |
O another side note only differance between the stock resinator and the cherry bomb is that the baffling inside of the stock resinator sticks out further into the exhaust flow
