Resonator Delete

I have my shop in my indy today for some cosmetic reflector changes, etc. What's the procedure for this delete? Is it easy and make a real difference?

As you can see from the pics, they better be an excellent custom exhaust shop with a mandrel bender or access to mandrel bent pipe to do it correctly.

it doesn't work well at all if they don't have a mendrel bender and don't know what they are doing. Keep the resonator on if they don't as It doesn't sound right.

Not going to do it, i'll either go for a new exhaust of live w/ stock. Stock is "fine", but one of my other cars is a '17 Masi MC vert, that sounds AMAZING and I have to say the AMG E63s sounds much better as well...

True, yet I find that if you keep the car in sport plus and S3, the best sound is obtainable. I hang her in gear, and when I let off there's a decent amount of crackle, etc. Same for in-between shifts. I did that last week on a run and my friend behind me in his M couple, commented on how great the car sounded. However, I should have to use this method to get the best sound out..

Did they have to use a mandrel to bend pipes?
Is there a difference between X pipe and straight pipe?
