i have the 7a-fe with a magnaflow muffler and i wanna know if i should cut off the stock resonator and straight pipe it for a louder sound and better tone or not. im pretty sure the muffler i have acts as a resonator itself, so is the stock one just counter acting it or is it still needed?

In my personal opinion, while it's not legal most places you go and only sounds good on certain cars, is to run just a resonator with no muffler. Paint the resonator and you can pass it off as an in-line muffler.
