I would keep it like if the resonator wasn't vibrating against the car LOL.

Anyway, so should I by another header with 2.5" DP, or should I just get something smaller, like 2.25"?

Also does anyone have a 2.5" DP for sale?

haha. Dude.

Just get another downpipe and install it.. My .02

Well yes, I'm just wondering if the 2.25/2.0" torqueness is worth the HP loss?

Why not pick up a 2.25" Dowpipe from someone and try it out. There has got to be quite a few of them laying around since evryone jumped on the 2.5" secondary wagon. Hit up Tekkie. He might have one. Then you can repair the other downpipe later and have it on hand or sell it.

Sorry man I had to. Its funny. You can just order another I suppose. I'd go with the 2.5 and also consider putting something normal sized down there.
