Resonator delete

I have on order a R58 JCW. I have driven one of the dealers JCW cars

and it is really too subdued, would taking off the resonator make it sound

as fast as the car really is? I say this coming from a 2006 R53 with a

Borla race exhaust. To my way of thinking a quick car should sound quick.

Thanks.

I haven't seen it in person, but from what I've read on forums and seen on youtube (the most reliable source in the world, haha) it really bumps up the volume. I've been looking at doing the same thing until I can convince my wife getting a new exhaust would bump up my gas mileage .
