buy new muffler or cut off resonator?

I like the looks of the AMG muffler, but want some more sound. Do I just need to remove the resonator to get this effect or does the middle muffler need to come off as well?
Thanks

I took off the resonator last week and I like how it sounds. It's not annyoing nor is it too much for the car. It sounds strong when you hit the pedal and I would recommend it.

I took my resonator off a long time ago and I love the sound. Take off the resonator and if you dont like the sound then buy a new muffler. Just my .02

AMG Bred, it isnt noticeable enough for the cops to think you did something...dont worry. and definitely not...it does not sound ricey at all.

You shouldn't pay more than 50 bucks. It takes about 15 minutes.

OK I will try and do some Dark power of the forged mind reading.

After you had the resinator cut off, did they give you the part back.

I had some other work on my car at the same time so they just did it for free. The sound is strong and not ricey at all. If it sounded bad, I wouldn't have kept it. Quick & easy mod that makes you car sound 10x better IMO.
