Resonator Delete Questions...
I've been searching, and have found information on the resonator delete only with pipe welded in its place. Will I have any issues with doing a resonator delete and having the tailpipe end right where the resonator starts? At least for a while, that is.

It'll rattle around on the axle I think cause there aren't any hangers on the end.

I guess I could do something for the time being, but will the heat being so close to the tire create an issue?

Surprisingly it doesn't rattle much at all. I cut mine just after the axle and before the resonator so it was pointing downward, its been rattle-free for the most part. I may move it to the side later down the line, but it works fine now; I cut mine off with a cut off wheel, didn't have a Sawzall handy.

Can you forsee an issue with cutting it later than you did, So that the pipe is still pointed back?

Uhm... not really? I mean it'd have more freedom to move about probably, I really don't remember there being that much extra before the resonator.

Long Screwdriver + Wiggle & Pull is what works for me?

I guess that means stretch around that bigger piece?

Basically I slide the screw driver between the pin and the rubber bushing and wiggle it around until I can pull the hanger off, its usually as simple as that. Worst case, just cut it if you're not using it.

Silicone spray or WD-40 and pull.

Combined both of these, and it's off. Will do a shake down now, to see how rattle-y it is. I'll just ubolt makeshift hanger it.

Awesome! How does it sound with out the resonator and stock muffler? I'm considering doing this to my moms GX470 and getting a nice "Lexus looking" tip welded on in place of the ugly resonator. While my dad appreciates his flowmaster and no resonator on his 4R I don't think my mom would love her Lexus to be loud.
