Comptech B-Pipe resonator?

I came across a Comptech B-pipe and bought it seeing how my stock one is a bit off from the guy who cut the original resonator off. Once I get the xlr8 high flow cat I plan to install it all at once. My question is should I cut off the resonator on this pipe as well? Not sure if it is as quieting as factory or if it's free-er flowing than oem. I'd like my mufflers to line up properly so I'd do the work at my job and make a sort of jig or something to hold it still when I take the resonator out and then be able to weld it completely around. What's everyone's thoughts?? Here's a pic:

I would leave it there if you take it out it will be raspy. A few other members civicdrivr and p. diddy even added a second resonator to kill the drone and raspyness.

Leave it. Get your mufflers to sit straight by getting new rubber hangers and by bending the actual hangers. This has been the fix for forum members since the begining of the site

Nah the mufflers were dead nuts perfect after I got new hangers (your advice a few months back) then I had the factory mid muffler cut off and the guy didn't make the replacement pipe properly and it cocked the Y part of the pipe making my mufflers once again uneven. This was my solution for that cause it just looks bad and the guy says "it works fine" so he won't change it. Worst 50 bucks I ever spent on a car.. But lesson learned.
