BasedLelouch,
Volume (decibels) increase a little and the tone is a little more raw (mean). I hear no rasp either. Resonator deletes are common with the GT500's and sounds great imho. I installed over-the-axle (OTA) pipes from Lethal and I quite like the resonator-free sound. Be careful, though, because if you plan to delete your cats then you may want to put the resonators back in because drone and rasp (one or both) increase and make the exhaust note less than ideal. Both of these pesky issues depend on the type of axle-backs (chambered vs. straight-through).
HTH,
Chris
