any reason why I need to install a resonator/c.converter? will performance be affected without it? MPG?

If go from the manifold, to the muffler, with out the above, what can I expect?

I guess for financial reasons....skip the resonator, but does it cost that much more? Yeah that tool makes it mighty easy to install, although I used to force them back on with great difficulty and it was NOT fun! There are some instructions on how to make a tool that is supposed to work fairly well and is cheap to make.

I just used to jam a large bolt insto the clamp. Install it on the car & then heat the bolt until it folds & VOILA!!!
