I can definitely tell the difference. I like the burble and pop but the exhaust note is now a bit too raspy and hollow for my tastes. I appreciate the additional videos!

Yeah it does sound a bit raspy outside the car. I can hardly hear it inside the car with windows up though.

I think it sounds good, I've seen so many Fost videos comparing the muffler delete and resonator delete. I actually thought a lot more Fist owners would have tried it before now. I personally like the resonator delete sound much better in all the Fost videos I've seen, so this is what I thought the Fist resonator delete would sound like.
Nice job, I'm sure it's just a sound mod but for the price anyone looking for a little more tone but doesn't want to spend hundreds on a CBE can try this.

i need to do a delete of one of these......keep going back n fourth. I just want a decent sound without messing with my factory DP. I'd like warranty-friendly mods if possible.

anyone have a WOT driving video of the res or muffler delete on a stock DP?

quick question for those who deleted the factory resonator is it a strait-through design? i've been wanting some more noise out of my car, but not willing to dish out $700 for a cat-back system. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151333594816?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT i was thinking of maybe running something like this instead of the factory muffler.

Please do not get that I can promise you will regret it. After all you pay for what you get. I did that to my original fiesta not st and it droned all day and sounded like a fart can :/ http://youtu.be/sHIaGxQvn7A

No offense, I don't think a resonator delete sounds good. Too buzzy and obnoxious
Fair enough but to be honest it only sound when the car is revving or at idle when im driving I don't hear it in the car :/ but ill make a flyby video and know for sure :)

I think it sounds fine on idle. It's when you add load... Sounds like a buzz tractor

Mine doesn't sound as raspy, but I still have plenty of the pop and burble

resonator sounds decent. and guys, it's a 1.6L turbo car....it's not going to sound like a 2.0 or a 2.5. lol.

I might just do a resonator delete if it's cost effective and spend money on the FMIC and Downpipe first. then down the line I can do a CBE.

I don't know im ok with how the resonator delete sounds its just a bit quite, I think im going to straight pipe it and see how that sounds.
