I would do it, no point in replacing new full exhaust system for 0 gains or not being lighter system.

I don't understand your question, remove the resonator and replace it with what? Do you mean, just weld in a pipe section?

I replaced my resonator section with the dinan resonator delete pipe.
I also have fabspeed catted sport down pipe.
Stock muffler is in place.
The resulting sound is fantastic!

I have a question on the Dinan resonator delete... why not go to a local muffler/exhaust shop, remove the center resonator and weld on a new straight pipe? Is there any value to the Dinan delete? Thanks

Dinan
- pre-bent SS pipe
- exhaust tubing clamps
- possibility to DYI at home

Local muffler shop
- request SS pipe
- welded connections
- not DYI

All good points. Plus, the Dinan piece has some R&D behind it, it's proven, it sounds great, and it can be removed to return the exhaust to stock if need be.

I also have the Dinan res delete w stock muffler and stock dp. I love it - a modest sound improvement - and definitely not too loud.
Although the figment was not perfect and it had to be welded in. Which was a surprise coming from Dinan!

I bought the dinan midpipe res delete and everything else on my exhaust is stock. In all honesty save your money. It really wasn't worth it, the difference in sound is barley noticeable, didn't change much at all.

Dinan res delete with catless downpipe and stock muffler sounds awsome in my opinion no more feeling that I need an exhaust!

right i don't want to buy the Dinan part, if a remove the small resonator #2 is that the same idea ? any shop cut and add the small pipe for maybe $80
I also have fabspeed catted sport down pipe. is the best part for the money

I'm guessing it would have the same effect if you just replaced it with some tubing.
