Not a clue what you said, but why would removing the resonator make a already full exhaust system, when it was prior?

you need to explain what you definition of "full exhaust is better? so you have a pacesetter header with the down pipe, from there whats up? any pipe beffore the cat? or is the cat connected to the down pipe? how are your connections made? clamps/ welded? after the cat, whats the deal, stock pipe? i saw something about you have a cat back? what kinda cat back? what size replacement pipes did you use? FILL OUT YOUR VECHICLE REGISTRY!!!!! otherwise your wasting everyones time asking, you didn't give enough info...

4-1 pacesetter, high flow catco cat, ractive muffler, none of the piping is stock, all about 2 inch. One of my buddys tonight looked at it and said i prolly need to replace my coil packs. Its misfiring, so i hope thats the problem,
