Ok I removed my first set of resonators [the 2x round ones ] and added an x-pipe there and also removed the last resonator before the muffler [the factory h-shaped big one] with 2 straight pipes,
and the car is still not loud enough. barely sounds louder then stock.
Anybody do a muffler delete? At first I had just the back resonator h-shaped one removed with the straight pipes but it sounded louder but not balanced and sounded like a mis-fire. So I added in the x-pipe and removed the 2 resonators [which people sometimes call the secondary cats] closer to the engine,it smoothed it out but also made it dead silent almost stock.
what are my choices now? aftermarket mufflers? s65 mufflers? or muffler delete?
thanks guys.

Agreed, there is most certainly a happy medium of louder than factory sound while not being obnoxious. I want zero drone and some noise say north of 4500 rpms. Clip above sounds great but with mufflers removed it may be too much, not sure.
