supersprint exhaust w or w/o resonator

[apocalypzeus]

hi all, i'm looking to do up a 8 year old e39 523i, i was wondering if the SuperSprint exhaust will be much louder than the stock exhaust, whether using the stock resonator, or replacing it with the SuperSprint resonator coupled with the new SuperSprint Exhaust. i plan to replace the 8 year old factory exhaust with one that might be lighter, and just slightly more performance sounding.i've been searching through the forum, seems not many comment about the level of noise produced from the aftermarket exhausts compared to factory exhaust (eg. Remus, SS).will it be a waste of money if i'm just replacing the exhaust box without replacing the resonator, as the carbon accumulated all over the years will retard the air flow through the factory resonator anyway?been quoted 1.5k SGD for Remus rear box only but i've read that SS is quieter.any Shifu's out there driving e39's with SS or Remus exhausts who can comment on this? any feedback regarding the sound, performance (fuel/power/weight difference) or costs of these exhaust will be greatly appreciated, thank you!
