86 diesel exhaust question

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?

more noise maybe

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!!!
