where did u get ur h-pipe from? I am running eisenmann race too but I am guessing u still have ur cats cuz ur in cali I was planning on deleting my resonator and possibly my secondary
im not very concerned about the noise as much as I am worried about getting the right flow going on

it merges both sides into a single perforated core so at a minimum it's going to cause some constriction and turbulence. if i felt a noticeable amount of tq loss from partially gutting my stock mufflers, i'm quite sure it's possible to feel the same loss from removing the resonator and replacing it with separate straight pipes.

Regardless, it will cause SOME restriction even if it is straight through.
