Try it with no res and a muffler, that should be a good balance of sound.

Tmo, that's my next step, the SLP exhaust is extremely easy to swap around parts on, so the muffler will go back in and I will drive it a bit and then move on to the resonator.
Eric, yeah, I would be driving the truck a lot and that would negate the mileage gained by purchasing the Sonic.

Just keep playing switcharoo with your exhaust. One day you'll find the right combination for you.

Thanks!!! I updated my original post with this.....
Got it installed today, it wasn't something that's an easy swap. It's not impossible but patience and some free time will be needed (see my lessons learned here. http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/t4669/ ). After one short run I'm pretty happy with it, it's build quality is outstanding and fitment was perfect!!!

Posted in the release thread but figured I would put here as well since it's talking about my newest mod.
Drove it most of the morning and it drives greats sounds great and and Ex didn't even complain about it. Under normal driving its no different than just a intake (real or RNI) with the windows up and you get a little more of that atmo BOV sound with the windows down, under WOT shifts it's full blown burst of air followed by the PSSHHHH, no chirp or whistle and certainly no quack.... I'm actually pretty happy with it. Other than the tight room to work getting the stocker out and the BNR/Forge in its great!!
Side note:
This is completely doable, just don't plan to have it done in 20 minutes and I'm also going to snug it up when I get back from det and will post what I use for tools. Full size 3/8" extensions, ratchet and torx socket are just to big for the space we have to work with. You will end up bruised and cut up cramming your hands into the AC hoses and contorting to get things removed and reinstalled. Don't ask me how I know this....
