Most stock resonators have no impediments to air flow, as long as they match the diameter of the rest of the pipe. Removing them will only add to droning with little effect on power. Useless unless you actually use the car to race.

Only remove a resonator if you're upgrading to bigger pipes, but you should replace it with a bigger resonator.

Be careful, though. If you'll look at most stock resonators, there's a smooth core in there, with holes punched in it. With cheap locally-made resonators, the holes aren't drilled as carefully, and there are rough edges and tailings in there that will impede airflow and cause power-sapping turbulence. If you're upgrading to a big resonator, shop carefully.
