How does the exhaust sound with the resonator removed and just a straight/mandrel bent pipe between the cat and the stock muffler? Is this worth it?

I'm hoping to add a little meaner exhaust sound. I plan on having a bolt-on piece made so I can swap back in the resonator when I need dealer service. Any advice?

I'm doing it

as soon as I get time. this shop in socal will do a 2.25" mandrel bent pipe from my cat to my stock mufler. It will remove my resonator (it's fricken huge!). I don't think the sound will be too bad, atleast not like having a full cat back. and for only $100.00 I will keep my "Skyline-Flap" mufler and save my money for the SSC.

that's because stock pipeng is only 2.25' wide. that's why. Unless u do it 2.5 all around.
