If your running stock mufflers it will sound good. If your running aftermarket mufflers it will be loud. Most with stock mufflers stick straight pipe in. Use the search button and see more results.

60 bucks?!? You got taken, my friend. All they have to do is cut the mid-muffler out and weld a piece of pipe in. Max charge should be $40 or less and even that seems high.

Taking the stock resonator our and putting a different one in with the stock mufflers makes NO sense. Now with aftermarket mufflers yes you would want a different resonator as opposed to none.

I replaced my mufflers with Flowmasters, and replaced one of the resonators up front with straight pipe. Now I can tell when my car is turned on. It's a decent hum.
