    Gemini - front resonator delete

    in Exhaust

    Posted

    I already run decats and the Gemini.

    Know what you mean about cutting up the system, partly my reason to see if anyone has done it and their verdict I guess..

    I'd certainly think twice about it as it would effect resell etc..

    But on the flip side I do like to hear my exhaust note in all it's glory! (who says it will sound great though by removing the front resonators.. hmm)

    Nice one Shezza..

     

    Although I quite like the idea of exploring this:

    I'm going to have a look at the ring inside the gaiter.. if it's something that can be removed easily, sourcing something like a plastic pulley the same size as the base of the new knob.. basically to re-create what has been done for the OEM knob but smaller to suit new, cable tidy gaiter like existing to create a new diameter creating a seamless transition between the two.....

     

    Failing that if there are too many head scratches occur then i'll give Beavis a shout!

    Just a quick one out of curiosity more than anything else...

     

    If i set an album to private on photobucket, will my image urls still work when posting to this forum?

    If i post images on this forum will they, regardless, still crop up on google in various searches..?
