Muf vs Rez delete???

Was thinking on an exhaust mod, maybe a Rez delete or muffler delete with posibbly a x pipe? Any feed back would be a big help!

I currently have just the resonator delete which was done by the po and I personally don't like it. It's too raspy but the volume I would say is perfect. It's loud enough to be heard without being annoying inside the car. I don't have any crossover pipes, just two pipes welded straight in replace of the resonators.

But before I bought this car I test drove back to back another one with just muffler deletes and factory resonator in place and this was obnoxious. It droned in the cabin, was loud inside and out and well also it made the car feel like a...well a diesel pick up truck.

It looks like from Mr Robots thread that he has straight pipes welded in place of the resonator. You will want a cross pipe at a minimum to handle the raspiness that mr. robot mentioned. Magnaflow makes a cross pipe and a resonated cross pipe that can be welded in place of the oe resonator.
