Has anyone taken out their resonator on their stock exhaust? Are there any videos of how it will sound?

In short, it will sound like S%#t. Get some magnaflow mufflers and you will love the sound.

You get a slightly higher drone at particular frequecy, but not much more than that. Your rear muffs is the source of your exhuast sound suppression.

+1 on the magnaflow. Dont waste your money and time. It wont cost much more for a magnaflow set up and it will sound great.

I was debating on taking my rear res. out with my B&B, I know lots of people think the B&B is too loud but I find it seems to still be missing something
