It added a noticeable improvement in off-idle torque as well.

1. Resonator delete with stock muffler
2. Muffler delete and straight pipe with resonator back in place
3. Stock resonator in place and muffler replaced with a straight-thru resonator (tried two different resonators)

All of that experimenting cost me about $350 including the cost of the two resonators I tried, so your price quote is quite high.
Exactly what I did! #2 that is. Cost me $180 at a reputable custom exhaust shop in my area. Just straight back to dual chrome exhaust tips (switched it up from black).
