Honestly mate just save up for an exhaust. Pretty sure removing the rear resonator might make it over the noise limit. Just having a guess though. The drone isn't exactly a nice sound, it might make it sound less "weak" but your just creating another **** sound. Not an abba fan might bless you with his wisdom along with more experienced users. Just my experience dude.

Too many
My VZ had no rear muffler when I bought it and it sounded like ****. Was loud as hell (very much illegal) and droned constantly. I got a 12" resonator put where the standard muffler would be and it so much nicer. A little bit louder and nicer sounding than stock without being in your face and attracting a lot of attention. Was also only $120 fitted at the local Mr Muffler.

I never stop being amazed. WHY would you want more noise??? I love my vz sv6 noise or no noise actually, it's sooooo quiet I LOVE IT!!! The other day my engine was running and I just didn't feel it or heard it so went to start again. Serenity now.

I don't think NAAF will be bothered to answer.
