Resonator?

i just want to know if i get 2.25 custom midpipe, is it a wise idea to use the stock resonator? or get the aftermarket one?
if getting the aftermarket resonator is the way to go, then what brand should i get? any specific size or model is designed for our cars?
btw, i drive a 2001 civic sedan (1.7 non vtec)

I have 2.25" piping with no resonator...

You don't need the resonator, but if you decide to keep it on your sound/airflow will decrease by 15-25%. (Do not quote me on this)

What kind of muffler are you getting? If you're getting a "quiet" one, ditch the resonator. If you're getting something like an N1 (loud), i'd say keep it...

If you want it loud then leave the resonator off. If you want it quieter then keep the resonator on. The end.
