C55 Resonator Delete Sound Poll

I found several good threads here about deleting the resonator on the C55. I did this on my C350 and it didn't really sound any different. But the C55 makes a lot more growl so I expect you can hear the difference. My question is, how does it sound? The threads I searched up here said it sounded better or louder. But what kind(s) of new sound(s) does it make???

PS: I found a few YouTube clips but it still real hard to tell what it sounds like and how it's different from my stocker.

youtube is ur friend..

This is something you have to try it for yourself. You may like it or you may not.
It's cheap to replace and cheap to re-place resonator back on if you don't like the sound.

I really like the way my car sounds w/o resonator.

Good luck..

Kinda disappointed

I just removed my res. saturday.... It took about 30 min. and costed $50. When they started it up i really couldn't hear a difference. I was expecting a louder deeper sound. It was only a little deeper. I could definately tell cruising on the highway around 3krpm... but once again deeper not louder.

Thanks all. I like deeper, beefier. I might go for it.
