May be I should leave it there , and at least I can still enjoy my audio while the car is idle.
Thanks to all who spent time to help.

Well, I had the resonator removed this morning at Midas for only $30. As for the sounds, it really didn't change it that much. A bit deeper and more throaty. Many people have questioned whether or not a "drone" sound is noticed between 2-3 rpm range and as far as I can tell... I didn't notice one. The sound is clean and consistant throughout the powerband. Being that the resonator essentially a straight pipe with holes to allow the air to "resonate" in the chamber, I can't really see it reducing low-end torque because the resonator doesn't appear to create any sort of back pressure. All-in-all for $30, I can't see it being a mistake. I keep my resonator in the event I ever wish to but it back on.
BTW - The Midas guys were funny - they asked me if I wanted to throw on a couple flowmasters while they were working on it. HAHAHA!
