Anyone know the difference between a resonated mp and a non-resonated one?

I have a non resonated midpipe with the apex'i n1 single. Even with the silenceer the car is super loud. Has anyone had both resonated and non-resonated midpipe before? What's the difference in sound? Will it quiet the car down significantly?

Also, is a mp with a borla welded into the midsection quieter than a resonated midpipe as well?

I really like the n1 single but if I can't quiet it down enough, I will have to switch it for something else

The resonated is suppose to be a little quieter however I have never heard the difference first hand. The only problem is the price difference, IMO, one is $200 and the other is $300.

BTW how much power do you push to the rear wheels with the setup you are running? I am looking into singles so I was just curious. Also, when is full boost?
Thanks

I think you are out of luck on this one, a resonated midpipe will help some but your car will still be really loud. That is just the nature of your setup, a rotary engine, with a single turbo, and an N1 exhaust will be loud no matter what. The only way I can see improving the noise level with a single turbo is going to a Racing Beat or M2 style exhaust.

the res pipe is actually very sim to the old school cherry bomb or glasspackwhich is a notoriously loud muffler the cherrybomb(or glass pack) is welded in the center. the mid-pipe is just straight through w/no muffler. i have mine set up w/ an edlebrock 3"muffler which i love because it flows great and is very quiet. if you want more info on this you can call me, # is in info box
