Deleting resonators, will it make a differnce in sound?

Im getting my resonator removed in the next few days on my 550i, I have a axle back Dinan exhaust, will removing them make a difference in sound?

The dinan exhaust is deep, its just not very loud when you press hard on it. Any examples out there?

If you delete your center mufflers and resonators, it will deifnitely increase sound. I had a muffler delete on my old 550, and then did the center muffler and resonator delete. Whole different animal, sounded so killer afterwards. I couldn't get enough of the sound, especially on the shifts. It snaps and cracks like fireworks

if you look under the car, in the mid section, there are two "boxes." the one closer to the rear is the center muffler, The ones closer to the front (looks like two cylinders) are the resonators. I have a pic, ill upload it later.

I originally thought that too until I had it done. If you like a more raw V8 noise, I say go for it. After I did it, I couldn't stand being in a quiet car anymore (however, it's still reasonably quiet at low RPMs, never annoying besides minor drone at 2k)

Post a video of your exhaust before and after you delete the resonators. And yeah, deleting resonators will definitely make it more deep and throatier
