Easy enough to add one later if you want to... I'd say start without it and if it's too noisy or raspy or buzzy... you can add one later. I would say you should have at least a high-flow cat in there, however.

EDIT: Voted.

Cats are only good for two things: people with slow cars and for my dog to chase.

resinators are fair game. you'll get better/deeper tones and it will not be such a drone to drive. no resinator will be a lot louder. ditch the cats if your looking to free up hp.

I'M OFFENDED!
I voted NO on proposition resonator. Rotaries have one of the most wicked uncorked sounds ever, might as well roll with it.

I agree with James. Start with a straight pipe, and add a resonator if you're not digging the tone. Voted "no" unless you think it's necessary.

Rotaries do have one of the best uncorked sounds.... but only at WOT and upwards of 7k rpms. For cruising and light driving, the volume and sound can get annoying pretty quick.
