Default Resonator ?

I have a stock 03 r/t and was wondering if it would be a good idea to take the resonator off? How would it sound?

I took my resonator off about 7 months ago, i personally didn't really see much change in proformance or anything, it just made it sound like i have an CAI or something. Which i like.

I just wish my neon had to ***** to back up its bark. lol, but i'm working on changing that.

I would just leave the resonator installed...if you want more noise buy a rear section or full exhaust.

i went with a custom rear section for my sxt that required straight piping all the way back to a dual chrome tip that sits right below the licsense plate. it sounded frickin sweet too but i lost a ton of my low end power. had to add a twenty-two inch glasspack in my midpipe to get the backpressure back again. not sure if you will have this same problem by removing your resonator on your r/t. are they straight piped with resonator like the srt's?? if so, you might feel slower off the line.
