      So you want it louder? Deleting the resonator will make it louder. If you do, get an x pipe to replace it.

      Jeff will the X-Pipe make it loud loud or just loud? Lol

                With no resonator, its going to sound real raspy. Personally, I'd keep them on.

                  very good point x pipe will help a little.

                  the resonator is only to quiet it down some and they tend to make the exhaust sound a bit nicer.

                    For some reason I like the rasp.

                      The x pipe will not get rid of it

                        deeper? no

                        louder? yes

                        raspier? yes

                        you need bigger diameter pipes/pipe for a deeper sound

                          Or about 18 inches of a nice flow through resonator. They add a very nice deep sound.

                            That's perfect for me then as my exhaust right now is deep. I just need it louder and raspy idk why I like the rasp

                                      You will get a drone / resonance at certain RPM that can drive you crazy ... you may want to consider keeping it on there.

                                        It will sound like a Honda if that is the sound you are trying to achieve.

                                          Did you like the way my car sounded yesterday?

                                          Mine has a stock exhaust with the rear muffler cut.
