Resonator Effect!

Got a bit of an issue with my st162 Celica..
Originally i had a redback muffler (Triflow i think not straight through) and the sound was perfect loudness, it was on about 89db.. Then i got the 2.25" exhaust installed and it brought up the exhaust back up to 89 (it sounded louder after i did the piping, i think the muffler got quieter when the internals packed better)...
Now recently i installed 4-2-1 extractors and the volume of the exhaust has decreased quite a bit.. The car DEFINITELY goes better but yeah its quite an annoyance..
The 2.25" piping has a resonator (i think its about a foot and a half long)... I was considering gettin this replaced with piping..
At cruising speed on the freeway u can't even tell there is an exhaust. Before hand you could hear it quite distinctively..
What would the result from replacing the resonator with just piping do? I'm after a bit louder, not keen on straight through mufflers though...
Thanx !!!
