Can you make before and after sound clips of it? I'd like to hear the difference in how the 6.2 sounds with and without resonator?

Throw us a pic man - and what a badass your wife is for saying the car is too quiet.

you do realize that a sound clip on the web is not going to be anywhere near what it would sound like in person...
sound clips cannot hit dB notes that you hear in person.

Well I cut the resonator off and a few things. 1 the escalade has a 3.5 inch cat back set up which will be perfect for my whipple 2.3 and the resonator is totally different then the tbss. Its pretty much solid inside and just one hole in the middle.
and the new spohn bar.

48 Miles on the truck I couldn't take it anymore Had to lower it
i wanted to do steps on the truck just to feel the difference.
So today i did the front belltech spindles
Front swaybar
and rear shock extenders
Even with my alignment off the djm front bar and spindles make the truck feel a lot more in control. In the rear im really suprised how better it feels. Its not as jarring and more smooth and this is with the stock rear springs in only thing added was shock extenders. Im guessing the shock angle is better so has a better chance to work.
I cant wait to put the rear belltech springs along with the djm trailing arm relocators, spohn panhard bar, lower spohn a arms and last the rear djm swaybar!! Thing will feel so much better.
riht now
FRONT 33 7/8 from ground to fenderlip
REAR 37 7/8 From ground to fenderlip
LAST but not least!! esky 24" chrome replicas with 305 35 24 Yokohama tires

the 2wd ones are very rare. Its fully loaded Love the thing. I didnt want awd (ive only lowered 1 other 2wd over the years doing these trucks) since i knew id be doing a blower on it and wanted to be able to smoke up the block.
Yep.

2wd im guessing also makes the swap of the front spindles very easy...im assuming 4wd you would have to press the half shafts out?
Have yet to look at the front suspension on this truck, and yet this is my first 4wd vehicle
