Default Am I restricting my exhaust airflow?

I have a megan header, invidia s-pipe, tsudo midpipe with 2 Magnaflow resonators (1 is 15", and the other is 18") and an HKS axleback.. I'm just wondering.. am I restricting my exhaust airflow with my magnaflow resonators? I was planning on just getting 1 30" resonator from Stylis.. but then I got these resonators for a good price - and it has lifetime warranty so that in case they break.. i get it replaced for free. Your input is appreciated. thanks!

I dunno, but I'm fairly confident that any difference would be trivial.

Your resonators are actually straight-through mufflers. They're not restricting your exhaust unless they're less than 2-1/4" inlet/outlet.

No cats ... yours wouldn't be the best car to be behind at a red light

How's it sound? Any rasp?

Nope, no rasp at all.. even in the top end(where i found the most rasp).. I used to only have the 15" resonator but that didn't cut it.. after adding the 18", it sounded as smooth as when i didn't have a header on.
