The change in torque will be minimal and not easy to notice by seat of the pants. It will only have an effect at low [1500-2000 rpm] revs. Higher than this horsepower output increases and the lack of torque can't be noticed.
It's likely the reduction of low rpm torque will only show as higher consumption around town, not on the open road.
Jegs would be where I would look for a replacement.

I guess that's fair. My exhaust isn't perfect. It's a budget exhaust. If I had money, I would have replaced the resonator with another resonator, but since I was strapped for cash, the straight pipe stayed. It sounds a little different and I don't mind so much.
