So with just under 3k miles on the clock, i broke down and did the resonator delete. The stock dark horse exhaust was great. I enjoyed the tone, but it was quite a bit muted. Like the sound was there, but being held back. That all changed after the resonator delete!
This thing sounds like a proper muscle car now. Not insanely ear piercing like long tube headers, but deep and low and unrestricted. The best way I can explain the stock exhaust is like someone holding their hand over your mouth... just listening to it idle now, it sounds 'open'
As far as volume... well, that's the beauty of the active exhaust. I will agree with what everyone else said.. it moves the volume one step up between normal > sport > track. Quiet is still like a whisper, which is great when needed.. Normal sounds great and it does mute it quite a bit over 40% throttle - which is nice. Sport only starts closing around full throttle to keep the rasp out, and track.. is .. well.. track... loud, in your face, unrestricted and beastly!
Anyway, just wanted to put my 2¢ in since i was the one that created this thread... if you are on the fence about getting it done... do it! you absolutely wont regret it! I understand now why they put the resonator - it makes it 'people friendly' but if you are a true enthusiast that enjoys your driving experience, this is absolutely the way to go. Not too little, not too much.
And if the day comes you want to return it to stock - save it and have it welded back on!
Ill try to get some videos, but you really have to hear one in person. none of the videos ive ever heard have done it justice.. especially seeing as how the dark horse definitely seems to have a lot louder mufflers than the GT.
