  • In this video I'm deleting the resonator on my 2015 Chevrolet Sonic RS Turbo. I walk you through how to make it yourself, with sound comparisons of before and after so you can decide whether you want to do this on your sonic.

    First thing I did. Muffler and resonator delete and got a glass back as a muffler. Took about 60k miles to break in glass pack. Made a big difference. Then got sec cat delete and made a noticeable difference.

      I considered a muffler delete too. The police here are pretty strict about it so not sure if it’s worth the risk. Might try a cat delete this summer tho.

    I used to daily the muffler and and res delete. No drone. It was loud but once warmed up it sounded amazing

      @@MtGarage I say do it put make it so you can clamp it back on? Or lay off the throttle when you see the police. When I get a sonic again I'm gonna put in a electric cut out in place of the resonator and so I don't gotta worry about electrical I was gonna run it to a small battery like a lawn tractor battery or something..

      Thanks for watching! Haven’t decided on a muffler yet. Might just leave it stock as I don’t want the exhaust to be too loud. May try a bigger down pipe and cat delete next.

    Has the sound changed after driving more miles with the resonator delete? 🙂

    • @MtGarage
      @MtGarage  4 года назад +1

      No it still sounds the same. It sounds really nice on cold start, but quiets right down after a few seconds. Gotta try something else yet to get a bit more sound out of it.

    I have a completely stock 2017 sonic RS I put a K&N cold air intake on and like a week later check engine light came on dont have a warranty took to dealership they said the turbo isn't making enough boost... question is what can I do to make it run the way it should its lagging out and has little to no power.. i don't really know anything abt cars other then i like the turbo sound and like to go fast lol but anyway are there any mods I can do to fix this and gain power thanks

      if you haven't diagnosed by now the most common culprit would be a boost leak due to a fault in the pcv system; searching "sonic turbo under boost pcv" will return about a million results

    Yo that last weld joint looks super legit for cheap flux core!
    It's really not a bad sounding car overall, but not a huge difference, just a bit more breathy.
    Think you might have been better off with a muffler replacement. This may add rasp.

    • @MtGarage

      Haha thanks! Gotta make due with what we got. Could definitely hear a bit more flow, just didn’t get the tone I wanted. I couldn’t find any videos of just a resonator delete so figured it was worth doing. For science 😂
