Default Remove the Resonator?

Well I'm taking my car up to a family member's muffler shop tomorrow to remove my resonator. Within the next couple weeks their main guy is going to put a custom set up together for me. Have any of you removed yours? Opinions before it gets cut off?

I had mine removed yesterday and I like it, I think this is the way the S should sound from the factory.My wife didn't even notice it, but I can tell. Beauty is in the ear of the beholder!!

hey Hondassport -

There's plenty of s2ki threads that support the resonator-ectomy. Glad you like it.

BTW - even the amuse comes with the same resonator. Guess that's one reason it sounds a bit on the MILD SIDE
