Default Straight Pipes

I'm sure its been talked about but I could not find it in a search. Has anyone tried leaving the resonator on but straight pipe the mufflers? Just curious because I straight piped my TA and it was crazy loud with tons of back fire.

There was a woman on here, she had a white MCSS and also a BOM GTO. She straight piped it and posted i video of the car on the dyno. I have the video saved on my computer at home....I can try and upload it for ya...sounds pretty good.

The only thing I'm afraid of is the loud backfires. I think it sounds good but on decel those pops are annoying I wonder if how ours is setup if it would do that if the resonator was left on. And damn I'm at work right now and cant access that vid

that crackling popping sound is only if you remove the resonator. leave it on and you shouldn't have any of it.
