Hey guys,
I thinking about removing my car's (2GS) resonators. I was wondering if anyone would recommend it? I'm not looking to make my car sound obnoxious, but I would like a more raspier exhaust note when revved. I'm completely new with this stuff, so any help and recommendations on how to ask a mechanic would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

At the risk of sounding like an old man... Does removing the resonators improve performance or just increase the sound?
I have a family and a loud car will not go over well.

I did it on my GS300, it was $60 at a local shop.... After I had it completed I thought to myself "wow what a waste of money, I would have got more enjoyment out of buying a large bottle of Grey Goose" but after a couple weeks I've started to notice it the exhaust note is a little different. For example when you start your car up in the morning you can really hear a difference and tell that it isn't stock, also I heard a difference when I was driving in a underground parking lot.
