That's the most funny question I heard lol. What kind of exhaust is it? If you cut your resonator off you will need to weld a pipe on there, otherwise it will leak. Also without a resonator its going to sound like a tin can. If you want your car to be loud, then just take your muffler off.....or buy a new one. Megan racing makes a loud cat-back.

u bought a catback or just the muffler itself? muffler itself isnt gonna do much for noise or performance wise. get a new setup if u dont like it.

removing the resonator will make it louder, but you may not like the tone you end up getting as it tends to be a little higher pitched.

Okay, it seems that you have either axle-back exhaust or just mufflers installed right now. Go to a local muffler shop and get a quote for some custom cat-back piping.

Edit- just noticed that you beat me to the post, that seems like a quality muffler as long as it's not the universal one, but it's all up to you there. i'm just not a fan of universal mufflers
