Default Resonator and muffler delete?

Is it a good idea to get rid of the resonators and mufflers on an LS430? Does it sound good. I can't find any decent videos.

I have resonators deleted
Wakes it up a little bit
Sounds nice at wot and startup

No droning on highway

I didn't delete mufflers

On my previous LS I did muffler delete
Sounded very aggressive but the highway drone was too much

I did it on my 05 and it sounded good.

I eventually went to a 2.25 inch X-pipe with no mufflers or resonators and it's very loud. A lot of people tell me it sounds similar to an LS1 Camaro/Corvette. The droning can get annoying on long trips though.
