Add a catless downpipe and it will definitely change the sound but not planning to do that yet.

Just bought the MPE and wanted a bit more sound from it and therefore was considering in removing the resonator and replace it with a straight pipe.
Would that do anything of will it just make the interior noise worst.
No, a "cat" is a catalytic converter. A resonator produces the sound a manufacturer wants and is also designed to deliver performance at a certain rpm range. Fiddling with resonators often reduces performance as well as creating pollution issues if you live somewhere that performs pollution testing on cars.
