Default is a resonator needed for a turbo exhaust

for all you people running a turbo setup, did you put a resonator in your exhaust? i heard a turbo quiets down the exhaust, but by how much?

I put an 18 inch 2.5 diamteter magnaflow on mine and like the way it sounds. But, to answer your question, no, it is not required. If it is a car that you drive in every day you may want one though.

Good question. I didn't think there was a difference. The 2 dynomax resonators I have are sometimes advetised as race mufflers.
