Default What size resonator to run on a magnaflow exhaust setup?

i went out and bought a magnaflow straight through muffler...and im ordering a kteller exhaust kit. What size resonator will get me the least raspy sound. Its a 2.5 in kit and its going to be on my D16Y8. Kteller offers a 14,18, and 22 resonator. Or do i even need one?

The larger the resonator, the greater the sound reduction. I'd personally opt for the largest one that will fit.

I'd either run two 14's or one 22.

sorry to thread jack. but i was told to use a 22" resonator but will having a resonator have any performance losses? is it very restrictive?

its more restictive than not having one, but well worth it to make your car sound better. Its not that restrictive, and your not going to notice a difference anyway.

I have a 2.5 kteller exhaust and I got the 22 in resonator. Much much better sounding. I also have an OEM RSX-S exhaust, that helps too.
