Taking resonator off of xlr8 resonated

Has anyone ever taken off the small resonator on the xlr8 non resonated catback? I love how it sounds but it’s just not loud enough for me and I know I could get hfpc but I don’t really want to do that yet.

If it is a non resonated catback, why would there be a resonator on it to take off?

I realized it’s not actually a resonator but a prt chamber but I would still like to know if anyone has taken it off and if so different sound

2007 Acura TL-S here
AEM V2 CAI
RV6 V3 HFPC and J-Pipe
Xlr8 cat-back non-resonated exhaust

Car has no cat besides HFPC and has the PRT chamber. Exhaust isn't as loud as I thought it would be. Exhaust sounds gets raspy only at around 3000 rpm and goes away around 4700 rpm. I'm considering taking the PRT off but I want to get some feedback or hear the sound before I do.

Also just FYI, PRT chamber also reduces cabin noise on top of reducing drone so I don't know if taking the PRT off would be a good idea.

I've also considered re-piping the whole system to mimic RV6's true dual exhaust system.
