Default Remove resonators from stock exhaust?

I was looking to add the Milltek Non-Res when a local exhaust shop suggested I first try and remove the resonators from the stock exhaust. They said I could save a few $$$ and might be happy with the sound.

I did a search, but couldn't come up with too much.

Has anyone done this?

Default It sounds HORRIBLE!! It turns the nice throaty V8 into a gargly american muscle car with no exhaust!

Also, you can feel it inside the car and everything begins to rattle!! I haven't heard the ECS H-pipe but everyone who has it, loves it! Go with the H-pipe!!

Maybe that's why ECS did an "H" instead of an "X"

I just don't like that raspy sound on a V8.... I want that deep growl that a V8 should have, imo
