Resonators or no resonators

Hey guys,
My Eisanmenn race exhaust finally arrived this week and I'm going to have it installed on monday while I'm away at college. I have a problem though, I don't know if I should take out the resonators or not. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately I can't find any videos of my car with that exact set up. But I'm starting to lean towards keeping the resonator in because it's a daily and I don't want drone in the cabin.

Update: Dropped off the car yesterday and ended up leaving the resonator in. I hopefully will have the car back today, and then I'll post some audio clips :P

probably a good call. The people (me included) that remove the resonator did it on a stock exhaust.

If you just turned 16 and got your driver's license, take it off, otherwise I think u will be better off with the resonator on since its an Eisanmenn race exhaust, those things r loud.

Have a shop you trust build a complete crossover mid section without cats or resonators, anything less is going to sound like garbage.

I'd leave them in... I met someone who deleted them out of his E55 and took me for a test drive. The drone was enough to drive me crazy.

resonator delete will make your exhaust sound louder
