Yes they do, and they sound even more amazing once you remove the resonators.

I love the Roush, but I don't like the volume.

I've had the Roush on my '13 for a couple months now and I've gotten used to it... I'm considering a new h-pipe or removing the resonators for a little more volume... One thing I've learned is that once you find something you like, after a while you'll wish it was just a little bit better! I've been bitten by the mod bug, big time! Lol

I had flat-black tips on the previous car, a 2007 Charger, and they were much easier to clean, and looked good with all the other black accents on the car.

I plan on doing something with the panel between the tail lights, to remove or replace the chrome circle with the "GT" in the middle, then basically removing all the chrome accents from the outside, including the chrome "5.0" badging and the chrome pony from the grille - that will be something completely different, eventually.

Sweet! Let me know what you think?? Just got mine done also. Initial cruising it sounds the same but thats very subjective. It definitely sounds more throatier at acceleration, it could be my X-pipe subdueing the sound. If I had to guess 10%-15% more volume at acceleration..
$100 ? total weight savings of approx 9 lbs, and the extra 5/8" airflow, Im happy. This resonator steps down to less than 2" where the packing is

The sound with the resonators removed is simply amazing. Might not be perfect for a coupe owner, but wow with my car being a convertible, I swear this mothereffer is channelling Steve McQueen and Bullitt. It's seriously perfection. Sings A freaking amazing tune. Quiet at idle, very smooth at lower RPMs, but trumpets a monster up top. The coyote 5.0 is honestly the best sounding V8 I have EVER heard.
