Default Resonator removal question

Have a 08 with the corsa xtreme system, thinking about getting the resonator replaced with pipe. What you guys think, would it be too loud or Anybody done this before and have a clip to hear what it sounds like. Noticed lots of c4 guys did it but haven't found a video of a c6

C6 doesn't have a resonator.

It does, but it's under the hood.

I recall some people running straight pipes and liking them.

When you say resonator, are you referring to the cats or the muffler? If you are talking cats, then make sure you don't have a state emission test and also if you do remove them you will get a spent gas smell in the car. If you are talking about the mufflers that came with the Corsa system, some have removed their mufflers and ran a straight pipe and love it, whiles other say it was to load.

He's talking about the exhaust, not the LS3 air intake assembly.

C4s....the OPs point of reference....have a dedicated resonator located under the center of the car. The assumption was that C6s have one there as well, but they do not.

In the pic below, if you look closely, you can see where the center pipes are slightly bigger. That is the resonator for the Corsa system on my '96.

There was just a thread in C4 gen about the side effects of removing the resonators. Some even said that they could feel a SOTP loss in torque.

Sounds like he may be referring to the cats.
