Resonators are usually just a "thru hole" within the pipe, but have a difference of size of a chamber internally to disrupt the frequency`s that are traveling towards the end of the tailpipe. The resonators kill most of the drone frequency you hear. So by removing the resonators, the only thing you create is drone. It will have very little or no effect on performance on or off the vehicle...just a noise difference within the cab. My thought is to just leave them alone unless you do a full catback system, then by all meens, remove them if the aftermarket exhaust manufactuer tells you to do so.

I see no point in removing them to be honest. They have a purpose.
