Default Loud Muffler Question

*** Disclaimer: I am a noob... Don't flame me too bad ***

Last week I had a muffler installed on a 93EX. While on the lift, the guy cutting the old sh*t out asked me if I wanted the resonater removed. He said that I would get better sound out of it if I did. I said, what the hell... Go ahead! Anywho, here is my problem... at lower RPM's the car sounds awesome (deep growl), and when I am on the highway it humms pretty good (Not loud at all - can have a normal conversation) But, when I accelerate from a stop, here come the attack of the killer bees! The lower RPM's sound good, but I don't know how long I can handle the buzzing at takeoff!!! HAHA... Should I have left my resonater on?

Here is the type of muffler that I purchased :

cannister style with no resonator is going to give you that annoying buzzing sound.

Most things will sound like an ass with no cat installed. Unless you have a turbo to keep it tone the sound down. I remeber that old video of the greddy muffler w/ no cat.

Nahh, I didn't pay $200 for it. I bought a similar (knock off) for about $90. It is the same design though.

Good to know. Thanks. You answered my question. (sarcasm noted here)

Thanks. I guess that I am gonna call up the shop and have them re-install one. Lesson learned I guess. Wonder how much more that is going to cost me.
