Resonator delete

Hello, I currently installed a CAI and MRT v2.
Thanks to Apex Motorsports!

Anyways, I was wondering if I should do a resonator delete?
The MRT and CAI combo sounds good but I want it a little bit louder.
Will the resonator delete make it more raspy?
Also will the crackle lessen? I don't want any of this.

And I don't think I'll put a magnaflow resonated x-pipe because it'll just lessen the volume and crackle.

Thank you!

The magnaflow resonated x will deepen the sound but will reduce sound. I would go resonator delete, replace stock H with resonated X, and of course you already have mrt v2s so you are set

i have the resonated x-pipe with a muffler delete but kept stock resonators. not sure what removing them would do to the sound so im leaving them in place for now. i might have the shop that did my exhaust remove them but in a way that they could be put back if i hate what it does to the sound.

as of right now i really like the way my car sounds so scared to mess with it.

Give an opinion then you can say not to have another resonator delete thread. If not, just find another thread to troll on.

yeah seriously man... how bout you distribute your .02 elsewhere before you rag on dudes. A res delete was one of the first things I did and it took tons of searching to figure out if it was what I wanted. Forgiveness...

To you and Mr. Burn slow I gave my .02 cents on the other 1000 threads on the same issue..trust me theres other people that feel like me two jus dont wanna say it.

Wait... So you gave your opinion on "thousands of threads" yet for mine you don't give an opinion or even answer the poll? I'm sorry, I don't think I have viewed those thousands of threads on your .02 cents. Please do me a favor and don't reply to this thread because you will have no comeback and you'll just start an argument.

P.S. I wouldn't have started this if you didn't have to type in all CAPS. Atleast learn how to properly state yourself instead of coming out like a badass, Mr. Killa B..

I have a flowmaster American thunder axleback with solo high flow cats. Yesterday I deleted the resonators in the midpipes as well as the resonators on the solos. All I can say is that its LOUD. Every snap crackle and pop is heard and It's one step above being ricey. It's actually obnoxiously loud, but I'm an obnoxious person so I love it
