Magnaflow resonator in or out? Please help!!

In 2 days i go in to get my Magnaflow cat back welded and hung higher. I like the sound of it but i want it a litle louder should i take off the resonator?? I'm leaning towards taking it off. Please give me some feed back because i go in 2 days.

Thanks guys.

I got just the muffler and I had the RES cut out because it wasn't loud enough. Now it sounds good on the stock exhaust system.

Ya the res is welded onto it but you can't just take it off and put a straight piece in because it has about a foot or so of pipe conected to one end.

Thanks for the info, i think i'm just going to do it what the hell

Does the muffler buzz at all, like when you first start the car? and does it go away if it does buzz?

I just installed my Magnaflow on Sunday, it sounds great to me. Just the sound I was looking for. I wouldn't cut the resonator out.
