Delete OR not Delete???? (Resonator)

Whats good fellow Freakers, i just picked up an HKS Axle-back (pending shipment) and after much review im still undecided if i should just go straight to the muffler shop and delete the resonator, give it some time before deleting or should i leave well enough alone? thoughts?

I would see how it sounds with the HKS on it and go from there.

Generally when you remove the resonator you can get drone on the highway or it can make the tone more high pitched/raspy. Instead of deleting it maybe consider a high flow version from Vibrant.

They are universal. Whatever the stock pipe diameter is and then get a length that fits about where the stock does probably 12-16 inches if I had to guess.

I kept mine. Sounds pretty cool now. Changed the cat-back to a Tanabe
