yup. i removed my resonator, and it makes a night and day different, most people think that i have aftermarket exhaust.. it sounds like a muscle car.
it should only cost you approx $60 to remove the resonator and replace with pipping, any exhaust place can do it.
also check out this thread. it was my cls vs one of my client 335i and My business partner M5. you can sort of hear my exhaust without resonator.

Yea the resonator is a cheap mode and makes a nice sound difference. Heres a vid of me at Moroso, you can hear the exhaust pretty good here.

I actually heard my buddy's CLS55 without resonators this weekend. Sounds great! It wasn't too loud at all, but it did make it sound much more aggressive! I could barely tell a difference inside the car.

you really cant tell the different from the inside, but from the outside, downshift your gear, you will hear a big different.

for those of you who did the resonator delete, how much did u pay? i see u paid 60 bucks newguycls55, great price. i got a couple quotes today. very ugly. midas quoted me 400 bucks and another place 200. 
also is it better to replace the resonator with straight pipes or X-pipes?
well im going to keep looking for a better quote to get this done.
if anyone knows a good shop in vancouver, bc area or even the seattle, wa area please let me know.

$200 to $400 sounds way too high.... i suggest going to a small exhaust shop, they will be more resonable.
goog luck

most of the money on the work estimate was labor!
ill keep looking around. funny thing is they said they can install my renntech headers for under 400. i bet thats much harder to do lol
thanks for the advice. ill go with a straight pipe. why is it better than the xpipe? just wondering what the pros and cons of each are.
