I'm in the same boat. I was originally going to do a resonator delete, but then thought it wouldn't be loud enough.
I drove a protege5 for 8 years before this - obx header (pre-cat delete) and a 3" catback with a 4.5" tip. That was loud, and DRONE was worse than you can imagine. You couldn't have a conversation in the car or enjoy the radio unless the volume was all the way up.
So now I have the ST - I don't want anything obnoxiously loud. And I'm afraid to cut the resonator out and have it be too quiet - then have to put it back in and take out the muffler instead.
I need to hear these options in person because the videos all sound the same to me
