No resonator on gl500 worth it?

Hello. I own a mercedes gl 500 x166. And i want to upgrade my sound without spending too much. What can you suggest me to do? I heard that cutting off the resonator improves the sound. Is it worth doing?

Plan to have mine removed in the next 2 weeks but next week it goes to the shop for last bit of in warranty work. Then resonator goes adding downpipes and then tune. Can’t wait.

Will get vid of the after removal and post.

Having this done tomorrow however due to timing I had the downpipes added this past Monday so can’t give a clip of resonator only.

will still post once done.

The resonator delete is worth it. The car growls but not too loud. Definitely worth the money.

No cel if you delete resonator. Only if you remove cats.
