How does stock exhaust sound without the resonator?

Thinking about freeing up some backpressure but keeping the stock muffler.

^^^^You must not know what you are talking about. It makes more of a difference in sound than what you say. It makes it louder. With some people if they have the wrong mufflers it will make a weed wacker raspy sound.

My friend did that on his Mp3. He has no cat or resonator, with 2.25 piping back to the stock muffler. But his stock muffler is a mazda speed muffler. It sounds good, but i dont know how it will sound on our cars.

Any catback without Resonator sounds like crap.

Everyone has different view of "good" sounding exhaust.

hmmm I just read what you are actually asking. Keeping the stock piping and the stock muffler? There wouldn't be any change what so ever.

the resonator stops a lot of sound, so it would be louder but I don't know if it would sound good out of a really small tip. Just curious is there a thread where people have posted sound clips of their exhaust. I know I saw one where only one guy had posted. I don't feel like searching

Am I goinf to have a free flowing exhaust? The resonator to me is a waste on the stock system.
