Took out the resonator a few weeks ago and had yet to make a vid to show the diff. Its louder, more defined, and I really like it better than what it was before. Still using Magnaflow but man the new sound really gives the car a different presence when its coming or going. Hopefully you have subwoofers when you listen to this because otherwise you won't hear any deep tone. Sounds great in person.

I don't think an I6 could ever sound rice, but I agree with you that any louder and it wouldn't accomplish anything.

Ok Ok, but a Supra with a glass pack is a different story.
