Default invidia mid pipe vs resonator removal

What do you guys think is a louder setup? F sport exhaust + intake with invidia midpipes or replacing the resonator on the stock midpipe with a straight pipe? I want to know if the invidia mid pipe would give a louder, deeper sound than my current setup.

The Invidia Midpipe made my exhaust sound extremely more raspier that everyone who rides my car normally can tell. Removing the resonators would make it sound raspier too but the last resonator on the Invidia is straight through while the stock is not, not 100 percent sure though. Invidia would be louder but I think the stock midpipe with resonators deleted would be less raspier and deeper.

Take a listen to my setup and tell me what you think. Keep in mind, it was recorded on an HTC phone so the sound quality might not be the best.

I think it sounds good the way it is. Adding an Invidia Midpipe isn't going to change the loudness or the sound that much after watching your video.
