what effects would a straight pipe setup (no resonator) have on gas mileage, didnt see anyone address this part of it.

you probably won't see a difference in gas mileage, so there is no harm in taking it off. Since resonators have almost zero-flow-restriction, the only difference you will experience is more noise at the certain exhaust notes your resonator used to quiet down.
