If installing a fabricated resonator sacrifice the top power, does it mean a stock size resonator will not ?? stock resonator is more restricted than the fabricated one, so using the stock resonator will do more damage

Will this setup also sacrifice top power ???

Stock resonator + stock muffler = ????best for daily/city driving
Stock resonator + HKS = ??? restricted
Custom resonator + HKS = ???? less restricted compared above
if i were you, basing from your comment above, i'll trade the HKS muffler and have my exhaust system back to stock. it will have better low end torque, meaning less fuel to burn to make your car move = better fuel mileage.
