|  Phantom Exhaust Well if the 2 center resonator's were to leave the car and 2 pieces of pipe moved into their former home  ---- this is what might happen ---- exhaust sound would deepen under acceleration  ---- going through tight spaces ie; tunnels , canyons would sound louder than the engine noise ---- gas mileage might improve about 1.6 mpg  .Now mind you this is what could happen, we will never say that it has or hasn't

 | If they where looking and if the exhaust was modded they would find it. Not that it detracts from the fun a modded exhaust could bring should the owner decide upon it

| When the Cruzer is parked in the garage so are the resonators --  Just having a little fun if they have to go back to satisfy any warranty except the pipes and mufflers then they can

| "When the Cruzer is parked in the garage so are the resonators" - Nice one! Only thing that popped into my head mate the work on the exhaust would leave obvious markings on it. But I'm confident you wont ever need to re-attach them if they have in fact ever been removed?
