Removing Resonator Question

hey i was wonderinf if removing the stock resonator would make my exhaust raspy?

i had some custom piping 2.25 inch from the cat back welded onto the stock resonator opening which is 1.75in i am probably losing some power or whatever, the exhaust sounds stock can't even notice a difference but i was wondering if removing the stock resonator would it be raspy? i have a apexi worldsport2

Thats a tough call with the worldsport muffler. Do you still have your stock catalytic converter?

yeah i still have the stock cat, i have an LX so the header and cat are like almost together lol and i got the custom piping welded to a flange and connected to the cat, the worldsport2 is really really quiet right now i literally cannot tell the difference from the stock muffler no sound whatsoever so i'm thinking if i take the resonator off it still wont be that loud?

mackin is an unknown quantity at this point
dont' do it, it'll be noticable and deep up to 3500 rpm, then it'll turn in to some real nasty raspy noise. i tried this before, it was so nasty so i had to weld the resonator back in

If you put an aftermarket resonator it shouldnt make the sound raspy. I hope...Good luck with it im in the process of making a mid pipe for my hks exhaust!
