Question on resonator delete???

Has any one done this on the first gen box? Did it increase the volume (loudness) of the exhaust tone any ? I put on a dc sports 2.0 stock muffler on my xB, And without the baffle it sounds good but not loud enough .

it's certainly louder, but if you have a header, it's just plain obnoxious, and ou will lose a bit of lower end, but high rpms it'll rip.

no glass packs are really loud...always ran them because in the technical sense its a muffler. they have a really deep sound. basically a resonator stripped of most of the baffling.
