The only performance advantage is weight savings. I'm thinking it weighs around 15lbs. Drone isn't taken care of in the resonator, that's a function of the factory J pipes. If you're still running the OEM suitcases, you shouldn't have a problem. AFM will be a tad louder since the resonator does tone down the exhaust note a tad. You can buy a magnaflow resonated X pipe that will weigh less than the OEM unit, yet still tone the exhaust note down.
