Default Resonator Delete

Now I went with the flowmasters 40 and i also 3inch tips. But should I delete the resonator also for a deeper tone, but I don't want drone in the car.

Agreed.

Str8BlkSS,

I'm the one you met at the LS4 meet in Kensington Park with a red/silver MCSS. I would not recommend removing the resonator as it will have too much interior drone on top of a raspy sound/tone to your exhaust system.

What you heard at the park was a Hogan catted down pipe, factory resonator and Flowmaster 40 original series mufflers combined with a custom 2.5” exhaust from the resonator back. I really don't think you'll be happy if you remove your resonator. Just thought you should know…

Tom
