Default 02 RSX (Base) Resonator Delete

I was wondering if a res delete would be worth it on my 02 rsx (base)? Im just looking for a better sound for my car, not really happy with the stock sound. Everything on my car is stock and I was wondering if res delete would make it a little louder but not too ******* loud. Will it sound like a fart can? I just heard res delete just makes your car have a deeper tone and makes it pop. Not looking for any judgement or bs, I simply just wanna know what its like with a res delete. Thanks.

Been looking up muffler deletes lately and most general consensus says it helps but may be against the law. My car has the rust muffler delete mod lol

On my old CB Accord, all I did was swap out the muffler for a Magnaflow oval and deleted the resonator, and I loved the sound. Stock when cruising, but it got a little louder with a nice deep tone under full throttle. Zero rasp. I have a Magnaflow on my RSX auto, but have yet to get around to removing the resonator. With the Magnaflow, it still sounds pretty stock from the driver's seat... one day I'll get around to it, but I expect the same results. It definitely should not be obnoxious, as long as that rear muffler is still on.

Keep the res, and add another one where the muffler goes. EP3 with 2.5" exhaust, didn't drone too bad but it got on it when you accelerated. I could hear it echo off the walls of nearby buildings, windows rolled up.
