I tried it with only the resonators deleted, it was a hair louder but not enough.
Now I am running with just the muffler deleted, so resonators only........I think it sounds just about perfect, a lot louder then with just the resonators deleted, but it is not annoying. Most importantly, the sounds is very smooth.
My co-worker had a E90 M3 with the V8, my car is louder then a stock V8 M3 now, and the tone of the sound is very similar.
I was following a brand new Maserati Granturismo S, it got the same exhaust tone also. But the Maserati was louder, I can't tell if it got the stock exhaust, the car was unsold brand new on a test drive, it looks bone stock, but the dealer could have installed a louder exhaust on it, I would not know. It was louder then I expected, similar volume to a F430 Scuderia.

I don't have a clip but I tired it on my own car, I removed both the resonators and the muffler, so driving with the 3 stock cats only. It sounds horrible, the sounds is really rough and harsh, sounds like a really old car that the muffler fell off.

I will weld my resonators back on and delete the mufflers!

You hit it right on the head, I was just a little too lazy to type it all up 
I have done every kind of exhaust mod and agree with everything said.

Monday I was in Berkeley, CA and saw a black Audi S5 sounding bad *** to da bone. Even my wife took a double take. Now after reading all your post I'm going to remove my muffler and add new tips. Thanks for all the great insight...clips coming soon.
