so you DID hear the difference. haha

It's definitely noticeable. Maybe you need to get your ears checked out.

if you have a stock exhaust there isn't too much to notice..

Did the resonator delete ($60) and now I have the sound that I wanted on the HKS hi-power, it is pretty loud when I floor it and solid all the time. Will post a vid soon.

Here is my vid, hks hi-power cat-back, no resonator.

With the resonator on, it sucked, it all came to be how I wanted once I took it off.

Just took my resonator out...

Verdict: A little sound evident at low rpms... nothing crazy at all. But you can hear more of a difference in a carpark when parked and revving between two cars! Now to change my exhaust tips and im happy for now.

I just recently changed my resonator for my 350, and FYI it have little difference with stock sound. Maybe if the stock mufflers are changed, the sound could be different.
