ok, I had the resonator removed and then had it put back on. However, In total, I had the y-pipe cut out and replaced with
2x2 1/2" cusom Y pipe that goes into the presilencer pipe, and also added a flowmaster 80. With that setup it was quite loud, and also had a oud obnoxious drone at part throttle.
I had the resonator reinstalled, it still feels more powerful than stock (but will have to wait to dyno after my intake) and has the exact sound I was looking for. Near stock at cruise and part throttle, and a very nice growl under acceleration.
I did without the flex bands of the stock y-pipe. Never had them before on other cars, and the exhaust guy said they were really only needed on fwd systems. The stock Y is very tiny, 2" or less, and is not mandrel bent, so it is quite small, and I think this mod probably helped a lot. Haven't noticed low end power loss either
