Deleted cats and resonators or stock sound?
So I've been debating on wether or not I should delete my cats and resonators or keeping the stock exhaust sound. I like the rumble from a loud exhaust but Im trying to go for the VIP look more then racing so I don't know if my car should be loud. What do you guys think?

Do you think I should remove my cats too? If I do go for it, I want it to be loud.

I want my exhaust to sound exactly like this one.
The thing is I really like the sound but idk if it would match with my vip look.

I'm no expert but I seem to remember someone saying that if you remove the resonators, they will drone.

Resonators only purpose is to reduce sound, he should not be droning because he removed them....MAYBE slight droning because of the secondary cats but I have never met anybody who removed their resonators and complained of droning.
