Exhaust mod more complicated than a muffler delete.

Hey everyone,

I've always been on the fence of modifying the factory exhaust and like everyone else I binge watch as many exhaust vids as I can. What I haven't noticed anybody do is swap mufflers out for resonators. I was thinking of something along those lines with either Magnaflow or Vibrant resonators (18" or so). I'd like something cost effective and a little bit louder than stock without the "cackle" of a muffler delete.

Has anybody else done this?
