Yes.
Resonators are replaced with straight pipes, and 2ndary cats are replaced with X pipe.

Ya, it sounds way smoother. But with only the resonator delete the car sounded like it had more bark. Now its just smoother. I prefer it this way.

It doesn't have any rasp with the X pipe. Trust me, if you heard it in person you would know what im talking about.

Then straight pipe only is the way to go.
It still crackles and pops when you let off the throttle but not as much as with the straight pipe.

FYI - As I understand it, a lot of exhaust "crackles and pops" just means that your engine is running too rich...and a bunch of the fuel is being combusted inside the exhaust as opposed inside the engine. It sounds great, but doesn't necessarily mean your car is running better.

Yes, but not as much as when you modify or change out the headers/exhaust system for higher flow/higher efficiency...you get more exhaust "pops." I get less now after my retune leaned out my AFR; still get plenty of nice exhaust "crackles and pops" but not as much.

Definitely thinking about going straight at the resonator, I know there a lot of comments against it but I know a few people have done it without any drone issues. Probably going to wait until after my 30k service.

EDIT: also, while I'm here instead of making a new thread (sorry to hijack), I used to have an xpipe but got rid of it, we didn't weld the stock pipe back together, I was supposed to go back and get that done but never did.. We just used a similar clamp to the one that came with the xpipe. Think it would cause issues during my service C? Should I have it welded or can it wait? I kinda feel like it's giving me a little nicer sound, but it's probably placebo, lol.
