Hey guys... I need some help here... first of all, I am getting tired of the loud exhaust that I have right now and thinking of getting a resonator. I have a 2.25 straight pipe with a CLA muffler (I bought the car with the muffler in it). I am looking to change that in a year or two but it is not in my priority right now. Like I said I am getting tired and annoyed of the sound loud... it doesn't have that ricey sound but it just annoys me and my wife. So, I'm thinking of getting a resonator but concerned about the HP drop. I know that my car isn't that fast enough too but why whould I go slower if my car is already slow
 . If anybody could just tell me if it's worth getting the resonator or maybe just point me in the right direction please. Many thanks to all......

the resonator is what keeps the 7afe from sounding like a buzzing civic, the stock one is straight through and does not harm performance at all. leave it or replace it with a new one when you change pipe sizing. taking it out will pretty much make your car sound like loud slow ass.
