another resonator question... need opinions

I just recently installed a glasspack resonator in my custom exhaust to get rid of that raspy noise everytime I accelrate. But I need another opinion. Do straight-through perforated-core resonators have a BIG difference in performance than the common louvered-core resonator? Does a certain type of resonator matter when it comes to smog and emissions testing in CA? I feel like the louvered-core resonator is hurting my acceleration and performance, but is it really all in my head? Any opinions and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

It might seem that way b/c the car is quieter now.

So does that mean that there is very little difference in performance between a louvre-core resonator and a perforated-core resonator?

I can't see that it would be enough to feel.

dude, this is an integra. if you don't have any major mods, even if there is a difference in hp, it isn't going to be anything big. like 2 or 3 MAX.
the resonator has nothing to do with emissions. as long as u don't f with the cat, you'll be fine.
