replaced the resonator

i got my resonator replaced last thursday and my car sounds really weird...but its somewhat louder...aboe 2100rpms it still drones...but i think it's hitting my rear bumper cause it's making a rattlin noise...also, the y-pipe hissing is super loud now when i have the music off but with the music on it all goes away...maybe i should get a real b-pipe...would that make a differnece?

what did they replace it with? mine is replaced with a straight pipe.. and yeah the engine and exhaust got a little louder.. if you notice at the end of the resonator is a crimp in the exhaust.. thats a restriction.. so I think you should get a B-pipe.. i am going to have one done for me soon also.. better gains with the B pipe than just having the stock resonator removed

so with a b pipe, how exactly would it sound? I have a cattman Y and a stillen muffler. Would it just make it louder or will it add some other wierd sounds like another tone?

Just the past few days I've noticed that during cold warmups or if I haven't used the car in a few hrs.. I hear a rattling/buzzing sound coming from underneath the passenger seat. But after a few min when the car is warm it goes away. Also, sound like something is banging underneath there at well. Do you think it could be a leak somewhere? Resonator?
