Default is350 resonator delete hurts low rpm torque?

Is it true that after doing a resonator delete hurts low rev torque in the low rpms and the car doesn't pull as hard off the line.

I also plan to add a 130$ Joe Z Intake

I would think so. A lot of of higher flowing exhaust parts will create more hp gains at the top end but you usually end up losing low end torque. That's a generalization though.

would a resonator delete be the cheapest ideal method of a better sounding exhaust or are there other cheap options I can explore oppose from $1,000 exhaust

Keep an eye on the classifieds section... you can pick up a used exhaust for a reasonable price. The hard part is deciding which exhaust you want

Im not sure if it hurts the low RPM torque, but if it does it should be minimal and you shouldnt really notice it. This should be similar to an aftermarket exhaust which adds around 5-7. Yeah you have slightly more power but your probably not going to feel it

In this video I had the F Sport exhaust, intake, and a resonator delete. It was loud but a little too raspy for me. Now I have the same setup but with an invidia midpipe and it sounds a lot deeper but not loud enough for me so I will getting the HKS Hi-Power exhaust in June

I've been debating the same thing.
I feel like the IS' tuned exhaust system does more than manage the sound. Balancing the exhaust pulses can help scavenging, and I think this is where that big chunk of metal comes in.
I could stand to loose the weight, but until I get a chance to see what's inside the guts of a factory resonator, I'll keep it.
