Resonator delete BMW m5

Hello everyone I hope y'all doing well, I tried something on my car today which is deleting the resonator to compare the sound to stock which made a huge difference in sound!!! Here the link for the video

Are you eliminating the resonator between the two muffles at the rear end of car? Looks easy to cut and just add a straight pipe. Or are you talking about the one in the middle of the exhaust system up under the drivers compartment?

the lil mini resonator halfway down the exhaust path. Replace that with an X Pipe and you get a nice pickup in volume and tone, few more cracks and burbles

Don't think the rear is anything but an empty can.
