Resonator Delete Pipe

Resonator Delete Pipe: swap the muffled midsection for a straight pass-through

A resonator delete pipe replaces the resonator in your exhaust with a straight length of tubing. The resonator is the canister in the midsection that cancels certain frequencies to quiet the system. Take it out and put a plain pipe in its place, and you change the character of the exhaust note - usually louder and deeper, with less of the drone-killing that the resonator was doing. Mechanically it is a slip- or clamp-in section that lives between the cat-back or midpipe and the rest of the run, so it is one of the simpler exhaust jobs to fit yourself.

What we stock here

This category currently shows 5 products from 3 brands: CORSA Performance, aFe, and Stainless Works. CORSA accounts for three of the parts in stock. Prices run from $186 to $728, which is the current range on what is in stock right now, not a fixed quote. Fitment data covers Ford, Ram, Audi and Dodge across model years 2009 to 2021, on vehicles including the Ram 1500, Ford F-150, Ford F-250, Ford F-350, Audi A4 and Audi A5.

Concrete examples: the Stainless Works 20-21 Ford F-250/F-350 7.3L 304L SS resonator delete sits at the low end, the aFe MACH Force-Xp 3in front resonator delete pipe for the 09-16 Audi A4/A5 is a 304 stainless piece for the B8 platform, and the CORSA 2015-2023 Dodge Challenger 6.4L V8 2.75in resonator delete kit is the top of the range. There is also a CORSA delete kit for the 2015 Ford F-150 5.0L at a mid price.

How to choose

The main split is single delete pipe versus full delete kit. A single pipe like the aFe unit is the least expensive way to remove one resonator. The CORSA kits cost more because they are built for a specific chassis and V8 and come as a matched package. Match the pipe diameter to your existing system - the Challenger kit is 2.75in, the F-150 and Audi parts are 3in - and confirm the pipe fits your exact engine, wheelbase and year before buying. A wider bore is not automatically correct; it has to match what is already on the truck.

What else you need

A resonator delete works with the rest of your exhaust system. If you want to change tone further, look at Mufflers or a full Cat-Back Exhaust, and browse straight Exhaust Pipes if you are building a custom midsection. For the finishing note out back, see Exhaust Tips, and grab any Exhaust Flanges and clamps you need to seal the connections.
