          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.

                                      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.
