Default Resonator delete question

Hey, I currently have a testpipe and UK mod on the S

I'm loving the sound.
Low revs its quiet as hell and high revs it loud

I was wondering if I should delete the resonator too?
Would it still be quiet on idle/low revs?

Would deleting the resonator affect any kind of power lost?

Does anyone have a video of a resonator delete w/test pipe&uk mod?

The only effect of deleting the resonator would be a dramatic increase in annoying drone. It would not effect volume, noe performance. The uk mod itself doesnt improve performance.

It would be a really bad odea to delete the resonator.

Do not delete the resonator. Several people have deleted the resonator after doing the UK mod and pretty much everyone had instant regrets.

+1 I just bought a 2005 with the mod. The previous owner removed the resonator too. On deceleration it's obnoxious.
I'm going to a muffler shop next week for a fix.

do not delete the resonator, it actually plays a significant role in the powerband.
