Resonator on 2.8 30V custom exhaust...yay or nay????

I'm putting a custom exhaust on my car this afternoon. 2.75" piping from the cat back with a can as shown in the picture, but with DTM curve up tips. My question is, will an aftermarker resonator effect flow?? If I leave a resonator off, will it be untolerably loud?? Vibration out the wazoo?? If anyone has the same setup please help or suggestions would be great!!! Thanks!!!<ul><li><a href="http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/bariatakis/vwp?.dir=/My+Audi&.src=ph&.dnm=Exhaust.jpg">http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/bariatakis/vwp?.dir=/My+Audi&.src=ph&.dnm=Exhaust.jpg</a</li></ul>

Loud would be an understatement.

personally, i would go w/ a resonator, w/o one is just way too loud for me, 2.8s can get pretty loud

Your gonna want to put it on, you can get away with them on turbo cars, because the turbo

eats up so much of the sound.

Hey I replied to you on the "other forum". You are in the right place now!..

..Don't listen to the turbo guys. Unless you want to have a hearing aid fitted and most of fillings in your teeth replaced use a resonator. If you don't you will probably get a ticket too.
