    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.

          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.

                              Yeah sounded nice, I was going to do the resonator today but the shops are expensive around me I have to go to Antioch

                                  Will do. I'll put them on sometime in the next week.

                                  Then when I get Racelands, this thing is getting slammed.

                                    Remember you have to cut bumps stops up front on racelands to get low.

                                      Thanks for the tip, I'll keep that in mind.

                                          Just did the delete today

                                          Got dealer and a little louder still don't hear the rasp

                                          Felt like I gain a little more HP and TRQ
