Default Take off the Resonators?

I dont exactly know what they do but someone suggested to take them off for a better sound along with my 40 series flowmasters. ITs on a 4.6L V8 btw...Is this a good idea or should i go with some high flow cats?

Yeah just do straight 2.25" piping back to the flows and you'll be good to go

Yeah, take 'em off. It'll sound a lil' better. It won't help you make power, but you got Flowmasters so power or taste obviously isn't a top priority.

yeah i heard you...im just gathering opinions...I think im gonna take the cats off, but cut them open, gut them, then weld a straight pipe inside the cats so when i get smogged and they look for cats, it will look like i still have them on...I know the smog check guys so they will pass me no prob.

you don't need to cut them, just ram a pipe in there, smash everything up and shake it all out.
