Very nice Niol8r. One of my favorite mods. Die, chrome.
Take the OEM ones off and paint them, I tried the Chinese ones several times but they just fit poorly.Exactly. Still have the side badges to do, just haven't decided on going with badgeskins overlay or getting China badges instead.

With resonator delete I see. Happy with the sound?

There is no resonator offered and it really doesn't need one. Magnaflow mufflers are pretty quiet compared to most. Unlike stock, it is audible but not obnoxious at all. Not a rice racer sound. It does get louder when you stomp on it, but very civilized in commuting. Doesn't seem to have a noticeable drone at cruising RPMs. I have a vibrant resonator that I might put on anyway, to be a bit more stealthy. I would prefer the tone to be a bit throatier, but it sounds pretty nice. If you want to be heard, but not from two blocks away, this kit might be a good option.
I did have to mod it though. The hanger on the passenger side tip was very close to the pipe. So close that I didn't think the rubber isolator would fit. I hammered the hanger to a spot that matched the driver's side tip but doing that made two cracks at the weld. So, I had to pay to get the cracks filled.
If you are getting a professional installation and run into the same issue, they could heat it with a torch and bend it easily. Otherwise, everything fits very well and the tips line up nicely.
