So here are the exact prices:
For muffler delete, 80 per side
For resonator delete, 60

I asked the guy how much he could install a Y pipe for and he told me 80 which doesn't make sense to me so I'm lookin for a new shop. (That's w/out any wiring)

I think that best bet...

not totally delete the resonators, just at least have one, not delete both...

I think this setup could be something you can think of:

1 - Vibrant Ultra Quiet Resonator
1 - Custom 2.25 " Piping for both the exhaust and the universal magnaflow x-pipe
2 - Blox Mini Race Mufflers.

Yeah, the Y-Pipe or cutout, just to install it, not to hook it up or anything

I really was looking for a good clean somewhat loud sound, and ended up going with the m2 performance axle back for $250 and a resonator delete. And I couldn't be happier! My shop did the resonator delete and installed the axle back for $100. The m2 performance axle back is a replica of the tanabie axle back which is $300 more and it looks and sounds the same. If money is the issue then do what i did but if your an adult with a spare $900 get the F sport exhaust. I did NOT want to sound like a civic nor a 5.0 mustang but a sound that fits the 2.5 v6 engine of an is 250 and sounds great. Btw you will always get a little drone in 1k- 3.5k rmps with that resonator gone.
