More Resonator install stuff

It's been several days since the last resonator post.  Time to re-invigorate those that haven't done it yet :))  I used all Walker parts, total cost around $250

My install was as easy as everyone else has said.  I re-used the flex pipe and bottom 45 bend, then new 4 to 5 adapter, 5" 45 bend direct into the resonator, and then a 5 foot piece of pipe that had a tip on it, actually was intended to be a vertical stack on a truck, to go out the back.  It's hard to tell in the pictures, but it all runs at an angle from where it hooks onto the flex pipe to the exit.  A few new clamps and done.  The resonator is right below the old hanger so I'll just put a strap on it.  There are several options to add braces.  Do not depend on the clamps to hold it together.  Both clamps on my old flex tube slipped apart.  I will replace them some day, but for now I'll fix it so they can't move enough to come apart.  A four inch grinder with a flap disk worked well to enlarge the exhaust outlet hole in the fiberglass.  Sound difference also was as others have said, even inside the shop it was still mild.  Won't be driving it till the rain stops >:(
