A resonator does not affect flow, unless it's baffled.
If you decide to go the FI route, you would probably have to upgrade to 3" piping or so.
I'd say you'd loose low end torque especially.

i thought when this is done you just lose a little low end torque and gain high end horsepower...
i always thought there was some gain. i feel like there is cause since my solenoid has been messed up iv been using the gear 3 on the highway alot and i remember it would redline at like 80, but now with my new exhaust setup i can get up to exactly 100 in 3rd. does this sound right?

You definately lost some low-end, but maybe 2.5" is the right size for the GS400, and in that case you may have gained some high-end.
I come from a Honda Prelude, and when you go the N/A route, everything above 2.5" made you loose low- & high-end power.
As for the topspeed in 3rd. I'd guess that the gearbox stays longer in third gear before shifting to 4 for some reason...
