My Euro 5-speed 300TD has a nice growl while revving up through the gears - a sound I don't remember hearing in any of my friends automatic turbo-diesels. Hopefully, I won't need to 'straight-pipe' anything for awhile, as the PO had a complete OE exhaust system installed, but I do wonder if eliminnating my resonator would result in any performance improvement.

Happy Motoring, Mark
