    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.
