Default Test Pipe or Resonator removal?

Wich would be the best to get a lil more grumble outta my 05 stock exhaust?

The Berk TP looks like a better option but i have a gran prix and really dont want it getting even dirtier with the carbon comming out.

The resonator removal is cheap but does it get dirty like the TP?

I few extra ponies wont hurt either

removal of tp does gain some hp. resonator will only gain sound and lose about 2 lbs. tp will make you lose about 5 lbs i believe.
