Lightbulb Advice Needed - Backbox or Resonator Delete?

Hi All!

Have been doing a bunch of searching/research on this and can't come up with anything definitive. Am currently in an F56 JCW with stock exhaust and am toying with either doing a backbox or resonator delete (but not both)

I like the current stock JCW exhaust note, but just want it somewhat louder and won't be able to stand any drone or overtly obnoxious noise unless I'm really pushing the car hard. I can't figure out which option I should move forward with as all the videos are hard to determine the actual level of noise. Has anyone experienced both setups that can give advice on the best route to take for something a bit louder but not annoyingly so?

Thanks,
-C

I first did the resonator delete with my JCW exhaust but holy hell did it sound HORRIBLE around 4-5k when you got on the gas ..... like embarrassingly loud.

I ended up getting a Remus system a week after i did the delete
