I feel your pain

Hearing that the stock midpipe is pretty restrictive, and that there is power to be made there, I think I am going to pull mine when the time comes (Read: The day after I get my car).

I see what you did there -_-

i have a friend who had the resonator removed in place of a straight through pipe but the rest of the exhaust left untouched...a bit of rasp is heard but nothing over the top. sound level seemed to stay pretty much the same from the outside but inside the car its a little bit more noticable.
sorry i wont be able to get any video of it being its not my car so you will just have to take my opinion of the sound =)

You said he's a friend, right? Can't you just ask him to video his car?

Fixed (Yeah, I'm a grammar jerk), and she would be most awesome if she obliged ^_^

So after installing my nameless performance downpipe.. the manager talked me into testing out the car with the resonator removed. Well, I agreed and the end result was quite a bit of high pitched rasp. It didnt sound too bad at low RPMs though. He is going to order an 8" resonator for me and fab up a custom midpipe for me this saturday.

I can make a video of the removed resonator but it wont be an accurate representation of the car with the stock system since I have the Greddy SP elite and the Nameless catted DP.

Heres the video... I really wouldnt recommend fully removing the resonator unless you plan to replace it with a smaller one.
