Taking out the resonator...

How long have had your Comptech Exhaust? Mine has a very nice purr to it. It gets a lot louder if I've been driving for about 20 minutes or so. It's pretty quiet when I first start the car though.
Any louder and I don't think it would sound right. Just my opinion.

I had my resonator removed after I had my Magnaflow exhaust installed. Now it is much louder. Not the civic fart pipe loud but a high performance sounding deep tone. I had the resonator on for a couple of days but it was just too quiet with it on for my tastes.

I had that exact setup before I got the AEM CAI. I thought it gave a good sound but nothing compared to the CAI. I think it is definately worth taking out the resonator. My brother just got a Accord V6 and we are going take his out soon.

does taking out the resonator offer any performance gains?
