I had my resonator cut off last week and the sounds is great at low speed. Around 3 to 4 thousands rpm it sounds like a mustang crossed breed with a harley. I loved it.
But, at full throttle, it seem like it's not quite as agressive as the car's sounds when the resonator was still on. I mean, when you have the resonator on, at full throtle, the car have this huge WHOOMP wall of sounds. Now ith out the resonator, it sounds like a steady built of RAAHHHGG sounds. Have you noticed this? Or is it that I'm so use to the loudness of the sounds now (with out resonator) at lower speed that when it does kick in at full throtle, I'm sort of desensitized?
