Default borla kit / resonator delete

ok... so i bought this supposedly bad *** borla kit from tt stuff. which sounded good and all on you tube. i even bought the 3" catless down pipe from 42 dd. but would it be a good idea to delete the res from the borla kit and just run the straight pipe back to the borla muffler and tips, or just leave the borla res pipe on it?

Bolt it on as is and see how you like it.

If it's not loud enough, Hack away.

Post sound clips before and after.

All I'm running is the resonator. Straight pipes back from there, stock forward from there. It drones pretty good at around 3K rpm, which sucks cruising the highway at 75, and trying to coast to a stoplight in the middle of the night while still in gear. Also a bit loud at high idle in the morning, but its all minor stuff to me.

No, I have the stock exhaust up to where the stock muffler would be, then I did this.



Plan is to buy a couple pieces of of 400 series stainless mandrel bent and run it straight out, reusing the stock tips (I like how they look).

Kinda overextended myself with a few splurge purchases recently, so that pipe is on hold until I knock my CC bill back.
