i am stuck in the middle of whether to remove the stock muffler and running pipe in its place leaving the rest of the stock exhaust including the stock resonators. or either buyingor having a local mufflerbend up some straight pipes. just wondering what you think would sound better. also what exactually does the resonator do? also i have heard from some buddies that a local shop (exhaust pros) charges $300 bucks for a dual out straight pipes, plus you have to pay with cash. just wondering what you guys paid for your setup out there.

thanks
