Default Resonator delete

Hey all! Wanting to do a resonator delete on my 13 GS F sport. Curious on what size piping you used in replacement and if it was a straight pipe, x pipe, etc.

Thanks!

That thread is about the intake sound generator, not an exhaust resonator.

Most resonators are straight and typically welded into stock piping. If you go the DIY route you'll have to cut them out, get piping that's the same as stock & flare/taper the ends to join together. Once fitted, you can use exhaust clamps to keep the new piping sections in place.
Better way is just going to an exhaust shop and having them weld piping in place of the resonators - doesn't take long or require a lot of material so should be relatively inexpensive. Note that I haven't done this on the GS so it may not be that easy - have done it on 4 bangers back in my ricer days
