RE: taking out resonator
on my setup i have cam, heads, headers, 3" exhaust, no cat, and a resonator with the above mods it makes alot of different on exhaust sound. i had to put the resonator back on cause i have neighbor complain and set off car alarm lol.

RE: taking out resonator
sorry i haven't weighed in sooner... i have been absent from MCF for a couple months now!
here is a thread i created when i got my exhaust work done: https://montecarloforum.com/m_85446/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm
i deleted my resonator and love it the way it sounds now (the exhaust has been worn-in for a year since the video now and has changed a little... i am actually considering putting a cut-out in when i drop pulleys... but that's neither here nor there!) the amount of cabin noise increase wasn't so significant... it is worst around 2000 rpm but imo our montes start off too quiet on the inside!
what i did: 3" ZZP downpipe with high-flow cat, u-bend and resonator deletes, 3" to the y-pipe with 2.5" after back to Flowmaster Super 40...
the nice thing about the two videos in the thread is i did both before and afters from a stand-still AND as a drive-by (b/c NOONE drives my car but me and i wanted to hear what it sounded like!) good luck with your decision... the important thing, no matter what you do, is that YOU like the way it sounds; what other ppl think really doesn't matter!

Then you're comparing apples to oranges. Deleting a resonator on a near stock setup is different than on a car w/ all those mods- the exhaust notes will be a good deal different between the two.

don't take it personally i wasn't referring YOU trying to make your car sound like a V8. i was talking in general like some people trying to make their sound like a V8. i watch the video and and i think the car sounds nice the way it is. maybe a down pipe and muffler will bring out the sound more
