After deleting my resonator, my car seems to be running too rich. Can deleting the resonator do that? What are the possible issues of this and can I just get it re-tuned to fix this so I can keep my exhaust set up?

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

The purpose a resonator is to prepare all of the loud noise coming from your engine for the muffler to silence. Honestly, it should not have changed the air fuel mixture.

Have you changed the entire system? Are the catalytic converters still on the vehicle?

Let me know,

Joe
