resonator kills some of the sound... My opinion - get it - The no resonator sound is ok at first, but after a while it just gets loud.

Just cause .. because our systems already have it but I took mine out when I re did my piping and the damn things is loud as hell, everytime I see a cop I have to put in my clutch so its not so loud. Once I change my pipes again I am putting the resonator back on.
