it probably won't sound ricey if you stick w/ the stock exhaust. I believe on our car it needs to be cut out though, better take it to an exhaust shop

I would say take the resonator from the intake unless u already did that with a cold air intake. Removing it from the exhaust might be too loud/annoying.

w/ the stock exhaust it'll sound fine. I think it would actually give the car a little testosterone
