Resonator Delete Question...

Ok, so I haven't deleted my resonator YET, but before I do, I am wondering how loud it is inside the car. Does anyone have a video with good audio from inside the car? Is there any drone at highway speeds?

I have heard what a delete sounds like from outside on YT vids, but never from the cabin. I hope this question hasn't been asked a million times before, I just don't want to be annoyed after I delete it, and then have to pay for it to be put back on.

Thanks in advance.

better sound, yes. better performance only on the C55, which IIRC, showed somewhere between 5-10whp gains. no performance gains have been shown with deleted secondaries on the c32.

on the c32, deleting the resonator changes the tone of the exhaust. it will make it sound more aggressive/sporty, which IMO is how it should have come from the factory. deleting the secondaries will make it a little louder. if you do a full exhaust setup on the c32 with headers, higher flowing primaries, and a deleted resonator, MAYBE you'll see a gain of 1-2whp (MAYBE IF ANY) assuming every bottle neck has been addressed. i doubt it though.
