Default tanabe exhaust with no resonators?

everyone says the tanabe isnt quite loud enough, has anyone tried removing the resonators with the tanabe exhaust? if so are there any sound clips?

Its going to give you a moderate deep tone up until about 4k rpm where is quiets down. When I first got it I realized it wasnt as loud as lets say a Borla system but it will let the cars around you ( not down the street) know that the car is hooked up. I always thought it sounded nice when the guys at the car wash would drive. I know they liked it also because they would feather throttle when driving it so they can hear it.
