I got a pair of Tsudo mufflers installed not too long ago. They have a nice deep sound and its not very loud until you give it gas. Do you think if i remove the resonator it would actually sound better? I haven't done it yet because i thought it would make the car sound like a tin can or like one of those POS civics i see all the time..

its not a big change in sound. you can hear it alittle bit more. and the sound is just alittle deeper prob the volume of the 350Z or G35 still quite not really much your going to get out of a sound clip.

Sound clip would be amazing right now...did you have a buddy who hooked you up at that price to get it done, or did you just go to a random shop, cuz if the sound is good, i might have it done STAT

I got my magnaflow custom magnaflow catback installed for 450.00 and it sounds nasty. very deep, not even close to ricey and looks good, but starting to rust now(damn new england winters!!!!!!!!). Good mod for the money removing the resonator though. that should definitely give you a racier sound. next get some magnfklow mufflers cheap and your exhaust will be very deep and throaty!

no other affect. you really dont gain anything changing our exhaust. its already free flowing . a full cat back gains like 5-6 hp. not noticeable. sound and looks.
