I removed the resonators w about a thousand miles on the clock and didn't notice much difference. I know have over 3,000 miles and it does seem to be louder all the time. My neighbor bought one about 3 weeks after me, and swears mine is louder. I feel it is, but marginal at best.
Absolutely no difference interior wise.

I removed the front resonator, the rear resonators and the 3rd cat on the car. I left stock mufflers. Sounds great inside and out. Not as loud as a magnaflow or anything but definitely noticeable gains. I also modified the stock air box and replaced the filter with a k&n. Completely satisfied. Give it a try you will be impressed.

What did you replace them with? Any pipe bending involved? Possible sound clip maybe????
