Anyone ADD a resonator?

Hey guys, anyone find their exhaust a little annoyingly drumming at certain RPMs and ADD a resonator? if so, any brand suggestions?

Stock exhaust drones? Are the back seats down?

I put a resonator in my Stratmosphere setup from Vibrant. It did help the resonance, but also neutered some of the nice music at higher RPM. It's also worth noting that the system (all mods that you have) must be considered. When I first added the resonator, I was pretty happy with it, and could live with the setup.

Then I added a FMIC and hot/cold tubes, and the resonance came back. I'm now back on the stock MCS exhaust looking for other options (probably fJCW).

Have fun,
Mike

Edit: And the guy running my resonated stratmosphere exhaust is happy on his car.
