Default Resonated test-pipe or straight pipe??

I've searched a bit on this but haven't found a straight answer. I am putting a T1R resonated test-pipe on my ITR strictly to lower my exhaust decibels. I am currently using a muffler-shop-job straight pipe. My question, will the resonated test pipe make me loose horsepower over the straight pipe ??

FYI: My ITR is a 206whp NA application. JUN III head package, head job, AEM CAI, JDM OEM 4-1 header, T1R 2.5" B-pipe, Mugen TL mufler, plus some other stuff. Exhaust flow is very important to me but so is keeping things quiet.

I appreciate the feedback on this..

I seriously doubt you'll loose any power.

resonator catches air, which disturbs flow... u might lose a TINY bit of power

You wont notice it on the butt dyno, but it will give you a much nicer tone.
