if you are going to remove the resonator i would strongly suggest replacing it with a glasspack at least, i had removed my resonator and at high rpm's it sounded like a 2-stroke dirtbike, very ricey. I bought a thrush glasspack ("cherry bomb") at meijer for only 15 dollars i then had it welded in for $60 by a local AAA Muffler. The glasspack sounds great, for $75 you can't beat the sound i have, i am also only 16 so i know how it feels. So if you do remove it replace it with a glasspack or you'll scream rice.
