A resonator should help that issue, the bigger the better as far as getting rid of the slightly ricer sound.

The problem doesnt come from the resonator......assuming you have a stock catback, but from the Y pipes unequal length downpipes.....No way to get around it other than getting a Cattman Header/Y set or having an equal length Y made.

stock Y's don't look equal length....
and obviously, if you listened to the video, its not a stock catback, I kinda dont have a resonator... lol

also, i know the problem dosnt come from the resonator, but the resonator should help the note of the exhaust, and i got some Wrap and im gonna wrap the flex section.

i think the sound is coming from the larger amount of exhaust going through your magnaflow so fast. Resonator should help. If not happy with resonator, get a 5th gen muffler.

The Fujitsubo is nice, it kind of looks like it needs to be mounted cleaner in that vid though?

The Fujitsubo Muffler does sound really nice, but just looks retarded in that vid. Is that how it HAD to be mounted or is there another way to make it look cleaner?

Ah, ok. That makes sense. I think it would work pretty nicely with it welded and mounted properly.
