Roush axleback without resonators?

My current exhaust is just Roush axlebacks but I want just a tad bit more loudness. I've been debating getting the resonators removed as I think this would open it up a tiny bit more but not make it obnoxious or have extreme drone like a o/r midpipe would. Anyone have that setup and when you removed the resonators did you lose the sound of the roushs with resonators?

I never took off my resonators when I was running the Roush AB but almost everything I read about this said not to do it. I think everyone was saying they got too raspy. The general consensus seems to be that the Roush AB sounds the best with the rest of the exhaust system left stock.

I personally never took off my resonators, but I have a friend who did. The exhaust is a lot louder than with the resonators, especially on a cold start. I prefer my roush with the resonators on. But it depends on what you are going for, if you like more raspy sound as well as a lot louder, I say go for it!

I'm replacing my resonators with these: http://www.jegs.com/i/Dynomax/289/24250/10002/-1

Hoping it increases volume just a hair on my GT500 quads, but keeps it deep and smooth. Picking up a 2.5' section of 2.75" stainless pipe to cut in half and fill in the rest of the gap on each side with those race mufflers.

I'm in the same boat. I've had the Roush AB for about a year and am looking for a little more loud. Was thinking about knocking the resonators out but everyone seems to say they get real raspy
