I don't mind my exhaust being loud at all so this is so good to hear that you've had a significant increase in sound output. I recall a thread specifically related to removing the resonators and some had reported no difference in sound from stock after the removal, hmmm weird 
I'm going to be heading down and getting all three resonators removed per board members recommendations and also get the RDSport dual exhaust from another member on this board. Can't wait! Did you happen to get any errors via iDrive after removing all three?

JB,
Because of you freed0m is now going to remove his two cannister resonators as well. I told him to remove all the resonators when he got his RDSport quads, but he's a girly man. He was afraid it would be too "loud."

I believe those who reported little to no sound increase had stock exhausts at the time. The stock exhaust system is rather mild so from within the cabin, they might not have felt an appreciable difference.
Even with the resonators removed and the RD exhaust, the sound will be mild in comparison to your past 350Z.

I was really pleased with the sound of VT's car and to my knowledge he has all three resonators removed along w/ his RD quad and AFE CA intake. I killed the bass and listened to the clip through my headphones and it still sounded awesome.

Nice!!!! 
Love the rumble. It's how the V8 should've came from the factory or at least made it an option.

I am assuming you have the single dinan muffler and that it has a single inlet pipe configuration like the stock muffler(s)? If this is the case, how did you tie the dual pipes into the one larger diameter pipe? Better yet a pic would be great and a SOUND CLIP even greater.

May be a bit pricey, but I would suggest getting some supersprint exhaust parts/products for your car if you could. Great exhaust with great quality/sound. That's why I sell them.
Do you have pictures of how they cut out the resonators on your car? Hopefully they bends, if there were any, were menderal bent.
