all depends how loud you want it....ZZP has the whisper which is super quiet, dynomax makes some decent ones, and Vibrant also has a quiet one.

This guy has 2.5" resonators available sometimes. They are a great price and freakin' amazing quality. All resonators are going to do is help remove some of the rasp created by the cat-less downpipe you're installing. Filled resonators w/ mesh or fiberglass won't last as long as one w/ full SS construction like the ones above. However, the ones above aren't going to quiet things as well as a packed resonator. A good comprimise would be a resonator packed w/ SS mesh. That should last a decent amount of time if you want one capable of queiting things a little more...

I have a 22" magnaflow right after the high flow magnaflow cat, also a 12" magnaflow resonated tip. Sounds 100% better.

22" used from Ebay, the 12" from an exhaust shop. Could get both from any reputable exhaust shop.

Not enough for you to notice at all....you probably lose .5hp or something retarded like that.

I went from no resonators to almost 3 feet of them, and I didn't notice a difference other than sound.
