To resonate, or not?

Here is my set up and question.

Installing kleemann headers, with xpipe this weekend. (no cats)

Thinking of keeping the resonator in place, as no drone is wanted.
But, also want some nice sound out the back.

So for those who have done it, what is the difference with the kleemanns with and without the resonator to rear stock mufflers?

So with the resonator in, it will further muffle sound out the back, and removed just louder when on throttle, but same cruising is what your saying?

From my experienced I noticed with the resonators removed there is no sound difference under normal driving. I didn't notice any drone noise. However, going full throttle is a difference story, it will sound like a beast escaping from hell

resonator doesnt really add any sound if removed.. However, when I removed secondary cats I definately noticed a bit of a sound increase.
