Sounds great!.. Just to confirm this is res del only, no downpipe, intake?
Thank you!

Exhaust resonator delete, and I have also removed the intake resonator (though that was a negligible change in the sound).

Any loud droning on the highway? The stock pipe itself drones a bit but still very bareable. I may just wait to get the greddy one when it comes out.

Can we get an exhaust clip? I got a dp/fp as well and wondering what it will sound like with a resonator delete or muffler delete. Thanks!

Just did a resonator delete yesterday. Sounds amazing. $106. No drone on highway so far. There are crackles and bangs when lift the throttle, which is a huge surprise for me. Also, at mid or high rev range, the response seems to be slightly better.
The downside is there is a noticeable drop in low-end torque. When driving as usual, I nearly stalled my car at a traffic light once. But the sound is just sooooo satisfying.

I feel like it took a while, maybe a month or so for the full break in. I’ve also heard people say the stock exhaust itself breaks in after quite a while, still not even really sure how the exhaust break in would work but I just hit 11k and I feel like it’s a good bit louder than when I first got the resonator deleted at maybe 8/9k
I’m still stock and I can confidently say that my exhaust has gotten louder and deeper as I’ve put on more miles. Don’t think I would enjoy getting a resonator delete anymore.

If you are a fan of the bangs and crackles, oh man you will love the sound after resonator delete. Stock exhaust sounds good, but it lacks a bit drama for me.

I really want to do a muffler and/or resenator delete because the stock exhaust is extremely blasé. However, I’m not sure how I feel about losing low end torque. For those who have done it, is it a noticeable loss?

I haven’t notice it! Again I only did muffler delete. Don’t know if that low end torque is from the resonator!

I didn't notice a difference in power of any kind when I had the resonator removed. Just a little bit deeper and slightly louder.

Yup, zero difference in low end after the resonator delete.
