What are the pros of removing them?
Do it! In normal mode the car sounds the exact same. In sport mode stomp on the gas and it is a good 15 or 20 percent louder. The R's come without the resonators so basically removing them on the standard GT350 makes your car sound just like an R. I had mine done the first week I owned it and have zero regrets. On the contrary, I love it.

I don't have any plans to remove mine for this year. I do believe the resonators are before the mufflers.

No..those are the mufflers. The resonators are just after the X-Pipe, at the mid of the exhaust.

Well The GT350 R has no resonators, so removing them would make your GT350 the same (10-15 % louder?). As far as improving flow for better performance, that depends on the exact resonators used. Smooth perforations in the core will actually flow better than straight pipe (this has pretty much been demonstrated). Pimpled (in the flows way) perforations will be worse. Magnaflow uses pimpled in their perforated core (generally the best in flow) resonators and mufflers. The reason why they still flow better than stock is their exhaust systems are wider diameter (mandrel bends also help). So, if it is a smooth perforated resonator maintaining the same flow diameter than I would leave it alone and sacrifice the extra rasp that you hear in the R.

Which approach was used for the resonator delete?
I see on the regular GT350 that there is a smaller pipe inserted in the X pipe. Then it re-inserts in the resonator. Did you keep this neck down feature when you replaced the resonator with pipe? I wonder what the R looks like down there. Does it's straight pipe come off of that smaller pipe necking down from the X pipe? Or does the piping stay the same diameter from the X pipe back? For that to happen, it seems you would have had to get a new X pipe with a slightly larger diameter to accomplish a sturdy slip and weld. They are blaming the 7 hp dynometer difference ( R having more) between the regular and the R on the lighter wheels. But could it be that Ford has contrived a restriction after the X pipe on the GT350 to give the R the edge? I would sure like to see what the R looks like down there before I do a resonator delete.

Thanks Nick. Same neck down. I'll keep things the same but with pipes instead of resonators. I will be guaranteed the R sound and drone control level (assuming the mufflers are the same) and and no less flow (assuming the mufflers are the same).This is the underside of a GT350R that was displayed at Laguna Seca last August

Update. Off with the resonators (with heat shield they are about 12 pounds or more. Also they are smooth perforated core). Found an installer who got some of the smoothest transitions I have seen coming off of the neck down pipe, besting the stock R. The design also favors seamless restoration of stock resonator set up ( for sourcing all parts used you can ask installer Chris Wilson at Science of Speed Automotive Technologies, in Chandler AZ [email protected], 480-894-6277). First 40 miles of driving impressions: In sport mode, it is as rich in texture as it is louder. The deceleration crackle and pops are more pronounced as well as the 'raging elephant 'sound at medium acceleration. Towards the rpm limit it is more balls out insane. No drone. In 6th gear on the highway it is still (in sport mode) tomb silent. I never drive in normal to report any difference. See the image below (just tack welded on before final TIG welding):

Savvy Detailing Universitys Headlight Restoration https://xlraceparts.com/7-best-headlight-restoration-kits-for-automobiles shows understudies how to reestablish blurred and stained headlamps to a perfectly clear wrap up the most progressive items and procedures.
Do you recall when your headlights were clear?You use to drive around and everybody would state, Look at those headlightsthey look so crisp thus clean clean.Well that was at that point and now they look dull and stained and nobody needs to be your companion. You wash them, clean them and have attempted each trap that youve knew about and they just wont tidy up. Prepared to locate a more changeless arrangement that you can use for yourself and additionally pitch to others? At that point prepare to be overwhelmed by SDUs Headlight Restoration Training Program.
Vehicle headlamps are not just a trendy segment of your vehicle, they are likewise a need. In the mid 1980s the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) took into account polycarbonate headlamp focal points to be introduced on U.S. Vehicles.Since this was a move from conventional glass to a plastic material, the surface must be covered with a concoction hard-coat to look after straightforwardness. After some time notwithstanding, this surface ends up oxidized because of the consistent presentation of U.V. beams and additionally ecological polluting influences. As this happens, the focal point winds up dull and stained bringing about an extreme lessening of driver security. As indicated by the NHTSA, 49% of all car crashes happen around evening time. This is aggravated by the way that 25% of all auto-travel happens amid the darkest hours. Giving an administration that not just resuscitates the common style of a vehicles headlamp yet in addition reestablishes the clearness required for safe evening time driving is an absolute necessity for any expert detailer.
Headlamps come in all shapes and sizes and utilize propelled advances like High Intensity Discharge (HID), Projector and the conventional Halogen. Some have auto-leveling frameworks, some have LED emphasize lights and there are a chosen few with a programmed wiping framework. In view of this the cost of a substitution headlamp can cost upwards of $1,500 each. That is a heavy cost to pay when every one of that should be reestablished is the surface of the focal point.
Here at SDU we have a very long time of experience utilizing untouchable items and have idealized the craft of headlamp reclamation. Gifted and skilled experts who will help you in leaving with the learning and mastery to give a significant and productive administration instruct our understudies. Wellbeing first!

Here is the system that I installed for deleting the resonators, really easy installation and it is reversible, you can put the resonators back on the car if you use the provided clamps.
