Default On or off?

I'm thinking or gettin the "Catback Magnaflow Exhaust" installed should I leave the reasonator on or off? What's the advantages to it being on or off. Thanks for the answers

So it doesn't affect how much HP? It's basically just the sound, any opinions if it sounds better with it or without it? I know I like mines kind of loud like a real good smooth sound, but I don't want that type where it seems like it's all loud n not even moving lol

i dont think that the magnaflow is loud at all with or without the resonator. if your going to run the magnaflow you might as will run the resonator with it. i doubt you would really notice a difference with out it, except maybe a ton of interior drone. that is if this is on the ls4 monte.

A resonator is supposed to remove "cabin drone", but my 3" doesn't get the job done. I can't imagine it work be much worse without. If you go big enough, I don't think it will hurt HP. Some say 3" all the way back is overkill, but I figure why go halfway?
