powerloss of a resonator??

Hey guys, i am either going to run a quiet stock-looking exhaust with a fairly large resonator maybe 22". Or run an e-cutout with a stock exhaust.

I would rather have a stock looking quiet exhaust with a resonator. For turbo cars how much power do you guys usually lose from a resonator? And what resonators do you recommend for the most quiet sound with the least ammount fo power loss. I'm running a b16 gt3076r @ 12 psi....2.5 "DP.....thanks!!

you shouldnt lose any power from a resonator. Its still straight through.

this comment is completely false. a resonator will create turbulance, similar to a straight through muffler. its probably not a whole lot of power...
