Resonator Removal?

Hey guys, ive been looking around youtube and i found a 08 g35 sedan with the resonators removed and it actually sounded pretty sick. Since i have a 09 g37 xs sedan, will the sound be around the same after i remove that also? If i was to remove the resonators, which ones should i remove? front, middle, or the end? Or what do u guys think about this sound? Thanks for all ur opinions!

Heres the link: YouTube - 2008 g35 sedan with resonators removed

That sounds horrible, IMHO. Its very raspy and hollow sounding and will only sound worse while driving. I removed my resonators for all of about 5 mins before i decided it just sounded bad haha. Replaced with some magnaflow resy's and it was much better.

My buddy removed the resonators on his stock 350z and it was raspy as hell. Sounded AWFUL.

if i shouldnt remove the resonator, what mods can i change in order to increase the sound of the exhaust note without changing the exhaust? i was thinking about the berk HFC, but will it void the warranty?

So, you're running with no mufflers?
