I've had a Hushpower II Resonator on my Renesis for 250 hrs of flying and 300 total run time.  After about 230 hours I took it off and inspected it.  The insides were wrecked, burned and mostly gone.  I cleaned it out and reinstalled it on the plane.  It now is just a larger exhaust pipe and the neighbors say it is a little louder than before.  I do have the Renesis exhaust blowing into a 4 inch dia. X approx. 6 inch long swirl tank that reverses the flow from forward to rearward.
 
I never experienced any loss of power as the inner parts of the muffler were failing.
