ummm...how about replacing with an actual resonator? I'm no exhaust expert, but wouldn't it change the backpressure if you put a muffler in place of the resonator?

Default **** a resanator

Yo dude I took my resinator rite out and put in a str8 pipe. Also installed a V-Force muffler and my cars awsome. It actually created more back pressure which is nice when u let the gas off because it allows you to use youre engine as a break to slow you down. And the pops of the back pressure sound awsome.
