Is it true that getting a muffler or resonator delete would require getting new tips?

Resonator- no, muffler and tips stay the same.
Muffler I'm not too sure about!

How did your resonator delete turn out?

No, the resonator removal has nothing to do with the exhaust tips. Doing a muffler delete, you can change the tip if you want but I kept the OEM exhaust port. Here's mine. The mufflers were removed and replaced by these two pipes connecting the main exhaust pipe to the OEM exhaust tip.

Love it! Perfect for me.
I haven't been able to find a good video of just the resonator delete. Does it result in droning? And at what RPMs?

I've seen a video of someone who did both and it sounded like total shit. I think the muffler delete sounds best. The others, I feel, have either a hint or a lot of tinny raspiness.

No droning for me. Again, it is winter here - all I hear is road noise - salt, snow, ice. Did you see the video i posted above? That is just a resonator delete.

don't hold me to this, but I believe they can be re-installed. You'd have to weld it back in I am assuming?

Okay. Thanks in case I want to sell the car down the line I want to hold on to them and weld them back on.

The hassle with everyone saying resonator + muffler delete is "oh the drone & its to loud" you gotta understand there's more options out there. For example go full straight pipe but add a aftermarket resonator. Vibrant has a good 3" resonator that calms the drone but still able to pull off being loud. Especially if you're going down pipe + front pipe that's super aggressive with straight pipe. Research is needed to have that nice tone of exhaust on a budget. Personally me I don't like the after market exhaust because the cat back looks like balls hanging from the back & if you're going low it's gunna scratch that $500 cat back you bought. Hope this helps!

I just had my resonator delete done this morning, it's a small boost over stock, in my opinion. Not enough to piss off your neighbors, but more noticeable. As long as you ask the shop to give you the resonator after it's cut off, you can have it welded back on if you need to sell it.
