Delete the resonators for volume?

Hi everyone. I'm trying to get increased exhaust volume from my ml500, and there really isn't any form of a custom exhaust system for the car (or if there was, it's not being made anymore). So I talked with a few friends who have custom exhausts on their cars (my friend's c320 with an eisenmann) and he said after he deleted the resonators it got him a much louder volume than before. So if I were to do this, would it be worth it? Also, on a different note does anyone have any experience with the evosport high-flow cats? that was the other option I was considering, but I'm also not too sure on how much volume that'll give me. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

I wouldnt bother with high flow cats... not going to gain much of anything...

If you want more rumble delete the secondary cats and the resonator... that should increase volume from stock

I plan on deleteing the resonator and replacing the muffler with a flowmaster. Should be done after March 11th.

That is the setup I have, sounds mean but there is a slight drone. Most people are pretty shocked at how sick it sounds at WOT

Got any video clips of it? Trying to get an idea of what mine would sound like if I did that
