So I'm seriously in the market for a new exhaust (father's day), Will removing the resonator fail me on emissions? I live near Houston and we require emissions testing. Thats why I ask.

I have a super44 on mine without the resonator and I just passed a MA inspection two months ago at the dealership I bought from. My exhaust was on for a few months before I went to have it inspected. Don;t know if that made a difference but something to think about.

The resonator has no effect on emissions. Its only purpose is to quiet down the exhaust noise, which it does because my sister's KJ is a little bit louder than my KK.

Yep you do not need the resonator or muffler as nether effect emissions.Check with local laws for dba levels before running around with no muffler.
