Default Installed Flowmaster 40S..thinking about resonator delete etc

I had Flowmaster 40 Series installed on my 2006 Monte Carlo SS a couple days ago. I love the sound but wish it was a little louder. Does anyone have a similar setup with the resonator deleted? I was also reading about people replacing the resonator with a glasspack. All input is appreciated.

Thanks,

-Elliott

I installed super 44 without res and it was really quiet. That weekend I removed the resonator and straight piped it and it is LOUD at startup now and has a nice loud rumble at idle. Defiantly remove the res. You wont regret it at all.

Different engine, but when I had my 3100, I had a Flowmaster 40 put on. A couple months later had the resonator deleted. ZERO sound difference. Just ended up with a leaky exhaust after a year because of the deleted resonator.

After installing a Cold Air Inductions intake today it sounds a lot better. Ill debate what to do over the next couple days. I think strait pipes would be too loud. I am not looking for obnoxious loud just a little louder.
