Default Resonator Removal?

I have read several threads about resonator removal. There are conflicting opinions from owners as to the sound and performance changes. I was wondering if anyone here has done that and are they satisfied with the result.
In the event there is someone here that has done this mod, if you are going to WTD I would like to hear the sound of your exaust.

There are no performance gains with this mod (you lose like 5lbs so maybe power to weight lol) but yes it gives the stock exhaust that extra note that it needs. It's very mildly noticable.

it's great to do, but don't add a test pipe after, sounds like complete shit.

for the cost of 40 bucks and the subtle change in sound, it's worth it.

Damn, I was planning on trying out a test pipe I just need more sound, I hate not being able to hear my car just a little bit...but then again I'm use to loud turbo cars.

I have it done and it's worth it. Sounds quiet to me now. Will soon be looking to add a little more sound somehow.
