not sure. i bought my magnaflow used. it looks "stock" (meaning, nothing was removed or added from how magnaflow made it,) so I would presume that it doesn't have an extra resonator.
for daily driving, i would definitely consider another resonator, or the mugen exhaust. Don't get me wrong, this exhaust sounds incredible, but it is a bit abusive on the ears

I have found very limited information on this catback system, it shows a 5 hp gain on the site and 5 tq.
The best performance gain you will get from an exhaust is weight savings, not hp and tq increases.

I have a brand new Magnaflow cat-back, unused, that I'll sell for $550 plus shipping. I paid $650 for it. It won't fit around my trailer hitch so when I got it, I was out of luck when I tried to mount it. The eBay vendor would not take it back because the box was open. PM me if interested.
I would say it doesn't quite have the same quality of finish as some of the exotic JDM stuff - but at half, or one third, of the cost, it starts to look pretty good. Stainless throughout. The install is very easy too, the fitiment of the joints is very nicely done.

Expecting any hp gains with an exhaust add-on on this car is not a good plan...

I tow a tire trailer for carrying my tires to autocross events. And I also have the option of using a bike rack now.

I think the Spugen Stainless Steel is the way to go. They use the Magnaflow muffler and then create their own pipes. the system sounds fantastic and it is a total bolt on, no pain in the butt adjustments to be made.
