Exhaust opinions?

I'm about to put my TL under the knife for some exhaust work. I'm gonna go with the RV6 True Dual and RV6 V3 J-Pipe (HFPC). I'm still on the fence about a resonator though. Should I replace the stock resonator with Magnaflow or Dynomax? I want my car to be loud but not sound like rice at all. Will my car be loud enough with the exhaust and j-pipe or should i go with a resonator to make it a little louder?

Way off haha:
Resonator decreases sound
You won't have a stock resonator if you get any catback exhaust (such as the true dual)
The jpipe and the HFPCs are completely different exhaust pieces

May want to search and read up on our exhaust parts a little bit to make the best decision with what you want to do

Get the jpipe and true dual...if it's not loud enough add HFPCs or pre cat deletes

A resonator would make the exhaust quieter, not louder.

And I would throw our XLR8 exhaust system into the mix. We've got non-resonated and resonated options. And we're offering free shipping to the cont 48 US.

I just got the XLR8 resonated installed and I love it. well worth the money. it makes the engine feel like it breathes better plus a great sound and some gain in power. Plus the guys at XLR8 are awesome.

Anyone running XLR8 non-resonated on their 3G? How much louder is it compared to resonated?
