    Moral is: Keep resonator if stock or if your mufflers are already raspy n ear splitting. Unless you have super quiet mufflers like my magnaflows lol.

    Well yeah see those aren't stock mufflers. You can hear the rasp at 1:08 but it's quieted by the mufflers. So no res in this setup is fine.

    Exactly. Why this TC should keep his resonator. No point on messing with it, I wish I didn't. But it sounds better without the resonator with no added drone/rasp... And that's my front exhaust manifold leak you're hearing lol. You should hear it in a parking garage....

    Magnaflow's aren't quiet mufflers................

    And that's in the car...what YOU hear, not what other people hear.

    Get an outside video and peg the **** out of the rev limiter in park...or better yet...hold the car in 1st and go driving past the camera and let off the gas while it's still in first. That'll get your rasp.

    Those sure were quieter than stock. Stock with no res would have been very raspy at 1:08 in the video.

    I opted to keep my res and keep it fairly stock with the exception of a hi flow cat and magnaflows, fairly quiet setup.
    I have a pre cat e cut out for when I want it loud and annoying...lol

    Stock cat + stock mufflers is very quiet...quieter than that.

    I know because I had it after I had the car. I honestly noticed no difference other than a smidge of a cackle at the top of the rev range.
