well hey there ive owned a third gen for a while just purchased a 2011sv crimson black 3 months ago i love it besides the wide open throttle restriction which severely ruins the maxis performance. anyways i just went to the raceshop here in dothan AL, and had them cut off my resonator and in place put my thrush glasspack 2.5" 28"long in place and guess what slight difference in exhaust note still smooth and quiet needs broken in a lil more for me to actually tell but ive been reading bout the resonator delete thing being no good. im telling you that a lil smaller size which i well more thanlikely try well be good right now you can here the pipes barely pur over stock i like and theres no interior noise maybe a 18" well work great and give it that deeper sound without ruining the stock rear mufflers which look great. on my 89 i have same resonator with the ve swap warpspeed y pipe 2.5" all the way through a straight through muffler theres no raspyness just smooth loud power i love before i put the glasspack on sounded awful and was super loud could barely here my after market stereo unless cranked up
