55amg resonator remove...noproblem??

hi~
i'm korean ^_^
i can't speak english very well....

today, i deleted resonator. (for better sound -->beast^^)

sound is very good~!

but, i'm worrying about if there are other problems(response,exhaustpressure...etc...)

someone says(in korea), if i delete resonator, i have to reset ECU (is that right?)

and there will be some loss HP,tq (so sad..)

how think about? - is there anyone who has dyno test result?

i'm not sure that deleting resonator has an effect on exhaustpressure.

i need advice.

Any instructions, a pic if you dont mind I dont know where the resonator lies, Any gains in performance ie torque in the rpm range.

I might do this acctually.

just go to a local muffler shop and tell them to replace res with stainless steel pipe. $50 should be the going rate and it takes 20 minutes. The only problem is you wont get to experience your wonderful stereo system because you will turn it off so you can listen to your exhaust note. you wont go faster, you just sound better. The resonator is like your appendix or tonsils, you can do without them.

Can anyone post a video of how it sounds, Is the resonator also called the centre muffler which is after the 2 mufflers and its in the middle ?

How does it sound good or bad ?
Does the vocal charachteristics of the AMG change ?

if its the centre muffler what we are talking about this is better and cheaper compared to the supersprint/carlsson xpipe which replaces the centre muffler and costs around $850 dollars without installation.
