Which resonators? All 3 of them. The resonators are there to keep the minimize the droning at lower rpm or when you are "tugging" your engine. Otherwise, if you accelerate and shifting at high rpm, you probably may hear a slightly higher exhaust sound, but not any "wow" factor in sound level.
Excellent explanation!
You are a "droning" expert.
I hoped he listened to you!
