Mod Comptech Exhaust or go back to stock?

Interested in quieting the CT exhaust system down a bit, already have the quiet tip inserts installed. The CT system eliminates the first resonator in the system. Would adding a resonator in the same location as the OEM system make a significant difference? Any recommendations on the part to use (Vibrant, Magnaflow, etc)?

Do it, the longer the resonator you can put in there, the better.

^nope, the cat goes right before that.

adding another resonator would dampen the sound theoretically. I say go for it!

Go back to stock.

Why mess with an aftermarket unit? It totally makes getting the exhaust in the first place, pointless.

Every I4 needs a resonator if you don't want to sound like fart.
