Does this void warranty or anything, and has anyone had their mid resonator removed and had a straight pipe in it's place to make the exhaust louder.

Changing your exhaust after the catalytic converter won't void any warranties. Don't think anybody has tried that yet. Do it and report back to us with before/after vids

I'll take a look under the car, just got the car yesterday so haven't explored the whole thing yet, but on one my first cars deleting the resonator and putting a straight pipe made a noticeable difference in sound in and out. I looked under the car earlier today, there's looks to be two mufflers, one at the back and another towards the front, I'd have to lift it up to get a better look, so I think the back one can be deleted, but don't know if it would affect performance at all. For now I'll keep my exhaust stock since I barely have any miles on mine.

I personally wouldn't do that. It's going to sound like crap. Like a cheap tin can rattling on the ground. You'll also have to slice off after the downpipe to remove the cat. Then weld on a straight pipe.

Just do a proper exhaust. Save the headaches.

My two cents only, but in many cars that I've owned and seen, I've never heard a good exhaust where all they did was remove the resonator. Sounds like garbage to me.

The muffler at the front is not a muffler. It's the cat.

I have no cat and no resonator...just straight pipes from the turbo back on my 135. Sounds really good at WOT and above 2500 rpms. Anything below and it sounds like a diesel truck haha. It's fairly loud too, but I live with it b/c it's my track/fun car. For everyday driving it'd be a bit much. I wouldn't consider doing that on the FiST.

Yeah figured I'll just wait for a proper exhaust.
