For everyone who doesn't know what the resonator looks like here's a pic.
I'm a size ten, the shoe was for size reference. I don't regret doing it at all, however it really didn't do as much as I thought it would. At least I dropped like 15lbs off curb weight because that thing is unnecessarily big and heavy hahaha. My future plans are to add custom bent pipe from axle back to magnaflow mufflers.
If you add an exhaust your going to get quite a bit of rasp, only because of the resonator delete. Give it a shot and if you dont like it, just get some midpipes

Ya when the exhaust happens I'm going to see how it sounds and if it's to raspy im either going to put the res back on (which is why I kept it). Or like you said get a midpipe .

yea, i made the mistake of going dual pipes with no resonator, and boy does it sound terrible at higher RPMs/ do not make the same mistake.

Noob question: Does this void your warranty?
