Question Resonator delete on Borla exhaust

Has anyone done this?

My exhaust is on its way from Meraki as we speak! Was thinking of possibly doing a resonator delete but not sure if I should. Has anyone done it with their borla exhaust? Any opinions on how it would change the sound?

Thanks

2017 suspension is no different from other RCF years.

We have Swift springs in stock for your car right now, also a sale for KW V3 suspension.

Contact us with any questions!

Other years RCF were offered with this option. We've installed many sets of springs on variable suspension RCFs. They only change the shocks, not the springs, so it doesn't affect it.

Um, no...

2017 is the first year for the variable suspension on the RC F. One of the other RC models offered the variable suspension on earlier years. I think it was the RC 350... But not the F.

For a half second I thought I might have been wrong when Josh said that it was an option for all models since he is who he is and I'm new to the RC-F scene.
In which case I was about to call my guy and try to cancel on the '17 and start looking for a '16 with the suspension "option".
Super sigh of relief after y'all posted.

I have the Joe Z exhaust, but after hearing Borla I wish I waited. I love the way it crackles like AMG cars. Borla got a bad rap in the 350Z/G35 community, but seems to have a quality product for the RCF.
