Resonated or non resonated test pipe?

Ive got the Buschur magnaflow exhaust on its way and already have a works 76mm DP so it only makes sense to get a test pipe to match but do i go resonated or not?

In my opinion unless your car isn't daily driven you should have a resonator. I'm not a fan of the "raspiness". If you don't have one anywhere else along the exhaust system then yes get a resonated tp. I'd much rather go without a muffler then a resonator.

Greddy Ti-C does not have resonators and sounds good in my opinion.
Youtube video not mine.

I have had a resonated test pipe on both exhaust systems I have owned and prefer it more than the ridiculously loud exhausts.

IMO just get the non resinated test pipe. I am currently running a full Buschur TBE with test pipe and it sounds great.

The buschur exhuast with test pipe is way too loud for daily driving.
I first went with their high flow cat and actually sounded louder in cabin.
It was quieter outside.
I then bought their sd mid muffler and was pretty happy for awhile.
No loss in power from the test pipe,somewhat quiet in cabin and quiet outside.
Now I have a cutout with the stock catback.

If your catback is a slip fit the ebay one will not work without moddifying it.
