Did anyone removed resonator?

I think our 370z exhaust sound is too small when it's stock. it's must be restricted by law, so i would like to remove resonator when i mod my Z

I think our 370z exhaust sound is too small when it's stock.

it's must be restricted by law, so i would like to remove resonator

when i mod my Z with stillen cat-back exhuast.

I heard that vehicle resonator is only designed for reduce the sound,

so it must be okay to remove the resonator.... Am i right?

Morevoer, i saw someone posted on google that the resonator affact to

engine oil temperature, so i guess resonator delete mod will help to

cool down the engine oil a little. What you think about it?

Oh, i got one more question...
Can anyone tell me about average cost to remove the resonator at autoshops?
I don't care where the location is, just tell me how much it will be in your area.
Thx :-)

I have a question for you, and a suggestion. I hope you don't take offense at my question. I'm only asking because I'm trying to figure out where you're coming from with many of your posts.

Question: How old are you?

Suggestion: Instead of cutting out the resonators from the cat-back, replace your stock cats with test pipes.

Same impression here....

No point in removing the resonators...They impose NO restriction and don't have anything to do with the oil temps.

Stillen Resonators:

Removing resonators will give you more of a raspy tone and more in cabin "drone" as well.
