Resonator delete?

I have a RENNtech EVM on the car. I keep it wide open all the time. Sounds great but I’m getting the itch to make it a bit louder and more aggressive. Been thinking of Redstar down pipes with high flow cats. Their kit comes with a resonator delete. I know this is subjective but Was wondering if when combined with the EVM it will make things too loud?

I did the resonator delete on my GTC with the EVM - it was not a factor in sound improvement. It didnt hurt it either. It was just kind of a non-event.

Interesting. Would you say overall the sound improved or did it get louder??

Not really, like I said, non-event. I did it in sequence too. First the resonator delete. It changed it, but not really all that much...it definitely didnt do enough to consider stopping with the EVM...So, then I added the EVM and it was like everything woke up. It's been talked to nauseam here about the EVM and the complexity around the open and closing of the valves. When I talk to any of this its really around the idling state, which is where this is most noticeable.
