you aren't the first person to cut a resonator out of an exhaust if that is what you are asking

I have a muffler but that's it

If I'm not mistaken the Megan exhaust uses a perforated resonator. Now let me ask you, does this look restrictive to you in any way?

Left resonator only. The right one is louvered style.



I'm going to assume that you agree with me that it does not visually look restrictive in any way. Even on high horsepower cars it only made 0-3 horsepower difference in which could have been a resault from other things. So dont waste your time cutting it off for power.
