I don't think that all of the 2is exhausts are monotone, but if you think so, the invidia or megan mid pipes really change the tone

no, you wont be in honda territory. I would just save for a midpipe, but if not, just go with the resonator delete. You can always have it welded back if you dont like the sound. My friend had the HKS hi power with no resonator and it was LOUD. Now he has straight pipes with a tanabe medallion and its really loud also, with some raspiness

Alright...I really appreciate the input. I was at my local exhaust shop and my guy told me that he could delete the resonator for $70 out the door (is that a good deal?). Think I might just give that a shot.
