Removed the two front resonators. The exhaust sounds much better and feels better too feedback wise. Finally sounds like a sports car.

Went to Johnny Franklin's Exhaust in San Rafael, CA. They did a great job, it was $200 and they had me out quick. My favorite mod so far.

Wow that is a good price! I was going to do the same but after putting on a downpipe and frontpipe I found the noise just right. Had I did the resonator delete with the DP and FP, the noise would have been to much (Personal preference).

I’m thinking about getting both of them eliminated and adding a vibrant resonator. After all, I’m going to keep the stock exhaust because I really like the triple-tip design. All the other options that look similar are either way too expensive for no good reason, or they’re just plain ugly and stick out like they’re 30 feet from the bumper!

If you can, please post some videos of how the exhaust sounds from inside the car. I’d love to hear it before making a final decision.

There are plenty of YouTube videos out there. Just search "FL5 Dual Resonator Delete". Just note that video/audio recordings will never truly convey what it actually sound like in real life. For $200, you'll just have to take the plunge and do it. You can always reverse it if you don't like it. I was lucky enough to find someone local to give me a ride in their car before I removed mine.

Yes, I know there are plenty on YouTube; all of them are outside of the car and with the middle muffler eliminated too. Thanks for answering for the OP though. I thought asking in the forum suggested being more specific, but I guess I’m wrong too. Not everyone has people that can give you a personal perspective too but thanks again for the insight.

Will do, I'll record a few clips with the dji osmo pocket and wireless mics. Hearing other peoples clips was helpful and happy to add to the library.
