I will bump the thread for you also so its easier to look for. Some will ***** that you didnt do this first, its ok, that person just wants to brag about his ad nauseum 0-60 times. Apologies that you had 50 posters look at this thread and not a single one responded.
Getting back to your question, a lot of posters have done it and enjoyed more sound. Some have expressed drone at highway speeds.

Just remember: f your vehicle is still covered by a warranty, then making a change to the overall exhaust system could void it. Some repairs are costly (like a transmission replacement), so if your entire warranty is canceled because of a resonator delete, then the risk isn’t worth the raspy reward of a purer sound. You can avoid this disadvantage by using this option with an older vehicle.

I think the most important issue the OP has to first find out is when the current warranty expires. is it expired?
OP could get a ASR valve controller? Its plug and play and opens the valves at low RPM. Simple and you can remove it inside 5minutes so you can hide it when it gets serviced or looked at by the car dealership. In fact OP should explore that first before getting a permanent resonator delete.

He appealed and lost.
If a dealer in their opinion determines your modification led to a failure of some other part, good luck getting it covered. I'm fully aware of the Magnuson–Moss act; there are exceptions like the aforementioned example.
In fact, a modification won't void a warranty unless an automaker or a dealer can prove that an aftermarket part caused the need for repairs.
All I'm saying is be careful of your modifications.

No, it is not inaccurate. A friend of mine had a Bimmer whose Dealer failed to honor the extended warranty, because they claimed a Cold Air Intake was the cause of a Cracked head.

To OP, just be smart, research, and understand that any item that is connected to that exhaust could be considered part of a faillure...to include even exhaust hangers and mounts...
