I have it both ways I can say the tone does not change. It's just quieter with the resonator. I prefer it with out to be honest. Its not to loud at all. With it on it is almost stock noise level but just deeper tone. I recommend the resonator if your going to tow a lot otherwise with out will be fine. I towed a car back 800 miles from Colorado with out the resonator and did not e en notice but I put it on recently and it really does take it down a notch. Truly the sound of the FR exhaust is perfect not to loud with out it at all. But if your overly sensitive. Get both pipes and have the best of both worlds like me !
A lot of testing is going on for the people asking about the intake and other items.

Hi geno51, thanks for your comment, really appreciate all your input guys. Got another question regarding having both worlds... If I buy the FR cat-back with the resonator and decide to change my mind and take it off or vice-versa, Am I going to be able to do that? Or once I cut the pipe for the desire length and fitment, I won't be able to change anything? What your thinking? Thanks for your help and comments again!

Thanks Boosted6, knowing that now, I'll buy the resonator and if I changed my mind, I won't be stuck. that's awesome! Exactly what I wanted to know. This forum is very helpful, thanks again Boosted6.

No disrespect intended but several forum members and I have grown tired of the "this really awesome thing should be released really really soon" posts when nothing happens in the suggested time frame. Outside of MPT and SSI tunes nothing has really offered a dramatic change in power for our trucks yet. If I had a dime for every time I've read one of these "updates" from a company or devotee I would start my own performance shop and actually have products to release by now. I think FR realized they were disappointing potential customers so they stopped dropping teaser posts. Perhaps their customers and other performance shops should stop as well. I don't want to turn this thread negative, sorry if I do. I just want to give a voice to the guys here who have been saving and saving waiting to spend on upgrades that will make a significant difference and we feel like we're getting jerked around.

I will say though the little mods are still worth it and all play very well with a solid tune. Tune is still the big thing followed by DP. Once the fuel is taken care of I'm sure the money you have saved will be able to be put to use.

I'm glad we have options...like turbos from FR, Morkin, MAK, and Cavalli Turbo (from SSI). It's great to have companies showing the interest.

I can dream of larger Turbos a fully aluminum intake and CNG injection in the future. No worry for fuel mileage, won't be any. More air, more fuel, more torque. Just a half ton fuel tank back there where the tool box ust to be.
