    I have check U-tube and some people remove the middle resonators and others the rear mufflers. I just want the car to sound good/powerful but not annoying. Which will be the best choice?

    That's hard to say, everyone has a different idea of what sounds good. Also depends on the car, automatic vs manual as they have different mufflers underneath. The manual cars have flow through bottle type mufflers the auto's have more traditional mufflers. Mine is a manual, I removed the rear resonators and replaced them with a 2nd set of bottle style flow-thru's.

    The exhaust is relatively quiet until you get on it. A lot of people complain of drone after removing the rear resonators. It doesn't bother me but then again I removed the rear's for a reason :)

    Here's is a link to some video's of my car. The first one, Challenger Evolution, has some sequences taken from the rear bumper under accelerations so you can hear the results.

    I wouldn't bother, although it sounds nice, your torque decreases. I did that with my RT and I regretted it. You're better off getting an exhaust system
