I kept the resonator, put a Magnaflow muffler on along with the 2.5" piping, and it sounds pretty good. Very little drone while crusing, not too loud unless I get on it. I can do a sound clip if needed.

you didnt lose anything. a res is a straight flowthrough. you gained a bunch of noise

I heard a few Magnaflows and they sound really good. That would be my choice.

I have the 2 1/2" Magnaflow catback (includes resonator) and it sounds really good for a 4 cylinder. Nice deep tone in the lower RPMs and opens up pretty good in the higher RPMs.
