Default finally getting exhaust finished tonight...need input asap

Ok so I have my magnaflow street series mufflers installed already. I have the stock piping with the resonators still attached. I'm going into tonight (6pm pacific) to get the rest of my piping done, My question is how do you guys think I should do it for the best sound. I was thinking 2 1/4 piping all the way back with the resonators deleted. do you think this would sound too ricey, because i'm not sure I can go 2 1/2 inch because the mufflers are 2 1/4 inch inlets. I'm Just looking for a deeper sound and I don't mind too much about cabin drone. If I left the resonators on with the larger piping would I still get more sound? and also would I still get the performance boost from having the larger piping? thanks in advance guys...

IMHO.
I've got 2.5" from DP to te Y-pipe, and 2.25" to the mufflers 14851's, no resonators.
If u r not a Bt andu go more then 2.5" u may loose some HP/TQ.
To be honest, when i test drove my car the first time with new exhaust that was too loud inside, no i got used too ))
going with larger piping and leaving resonators is not a really good idea for the sound purposes.
My opinion, get piping done in the way u want it, if it is to loud you can alwaysadd as many resonators as u want.
Good luck, take some videos/pics.
