Suggestion on what to do with the resonator

I just added some BBK long tube headers with cat deletes about two weeks ago. But I'm kind of wondering if there is anything I need/could do with the stock resonator? Straight pipe delete, x-pipe, etc...? The headers and magnaflow mufflers do sound great right now, but just seeing what you guys have done.

First time camaro owner and exhaust work right now. Just seeing what you guys recommend

I will be taking mine off and placing an X-Pipe in its place, If you do this, It will be loud.

If u like the sound just keep it. It doesn't affect performance.

In looking at the resonator dissected in the other thread, not sure that would be an accurate statement.

The stock resonator auctually gives your exhaust a nice low tone. I liked the sound of that more then I do now I have a tru x pipe. Strange but true.

Not a bad idea from the dissected one I saw in an earlier post.

Wasn't sure if an X-Pipe would make better flow or just did anything with sound tone or level.
