resonator

i have an 08 g5 and i put a flowmaster on it and took out the intake resonator and i was wondering if anyone took off there exhaust resonator and how it sounds and if there are any changes performance wise, oh and also i live in pa, does anyone know if that would affect emissions or inspection...

I just removed my resonator yesturday because I have ordered a K&N typhoon intake that comes tmw or the next day hopefully. And I thought to myself after, well if the resonator is gone won't it be pulling more hot air because nothing is directing cold air into it. Will this be a problem for me...
