Since I'm asking questions lately why not this one?

I have cat deletes and gt500's. How much louder will my car get without resonators? This is a daily driver with plenty of highway.

I have the gt500 axlebacks, no cats and the non resonated heartthrob cat to axleback pods and it sounds amazing. To me, it sounds more reminiscent of an older 2v mustang.

I was in the same boat I didnt want the loudness if i removed the resonators. So I had a friend removed them and would put them back for nothing if not satisfied. Well I removed them and it wasn't much difference sounds great. No annoying loudness car sounds clean.
NOW I kept it Cattless straight thru with the GT500's very satisfied, you wont regret it.

I have gt500 mufflers, o/r x pipe and just had the resonators cut out.. I love it. A little quiet at idle for my liking but when Im driving around it's perfect, no drone from what I can tell. Screams at WOT, makes me all giddy. :p

This thread rocks. I've been on the fence for a while now on going cat delete in addition to my GT500 ab's /no res setup. I might just have to give in to my wants here and do it. It sounds too awesome to not do it.

My only concern is that since I have a vert it will be hella loud.
