Looks good B-man. I didn't know you were trading in the Saab as well, that makes it easier.
I didn't trade it in, so it may be a little deceiving when I said "goodbye" Saables, because it is still in my driveway, ha. Just now I gotta start cleaning her up and put her up for sale. Know anyone interested? ha!
Thanks again for looking for one of these for me. I appreciate it, just too bad we didn't stumble on anything this week. But don't worry because I tend to go through DD's every couple years it seems, so I'll be looking for something again sooner rather than later, ha!

Good idea on the auto start, but why make it louder? It's your DD, won't that get annoying?
The intent of removing the resonator isn't to make it louder. The intent is to make it all look cleaner/nicer. The OEM setup (IMO) is ugly. So people remove it to give it a cleaner look. Of course a side effect will be it will be a hair louder, but from all the reports of others doing it, it's not a drastic change, just a hair louder in lower RPM's mostly.
Here's an example:

Nice ride Brando, I was looking at those when I bought my Tahoe, the only reason I didn't snag it is that it got the same gas mileage as the Tahoe, and I could use the room for kids and crap. Those things have a lot of nice trim features I liked, the heated seats will be nice for the rest of winter too!
