Removing Resonator or Muffler?

What's up guys. I've been inactive for a while b.c. I moved from NY to Washington state, (Yeah, the westtttt coast).
So yeah, what I want to ask you guys is...I've been thinking about having a nice deep growl/drone to my car. My car currently only gets loud when I step on it (DC headers, K&N sri, TSX intake manifold) but, I now want something coming from my exhaust.
I've looked up threads on other forums about this topic and all say, it sounds nice. Its a deep tone or growl, and not to loud(some cases of rasp but rare). Also, minimal HP gains, but thats not my aim.
I wanted to ask my accord team before I did anything.
P.S.: My car is a 2005 Honda accord
Thanks guys

Start with removing the resonator. Then if you need more of a drone (ughhh), go ahead and get a different muffler.

Any idea what kind of result i would get by removing the resonators on my J leaving the stock mufflers? When i start the car theres a hint on something good.

More sound? The piping is restrictive if you're looking for performance.

too little back pressure is good. what you don't want is too little exhaust velocity.

Ok um ? So basically to large a diameter pipe is the only possible bad thing?

Sort of. There's a lot more to it than just that. I can write novels on it but thankfully, the internets and experienced builders have already done it for me.
