I was making a crack on the fact that the car is still loud, but good job making a useless reply.

I understand that! I was ribbing you back because my car has a noticable "drone" in the exhaust note when cruising steady between 3000 and 3500 rpms. It's not really that loud but it "is" definitely there and it doesn't matter which gear I'm in. I can only imagine how loud that drone might be "without" the resonator!

No, it'll make it sound like the stock exhaust with an annoying drone.

If you're so keen try it yourself.

Don't cut off the Hemholtz, but you can take out the canister resonator to give the exhaust very nice tone. There are a few big threads on it and you'll be quite pleased with the results; it gave the car the perfect sound IMHO.
