Unhappy Mid-Muffler question

It seems to be that everyone is deleting their mid-mufflers to get a louder performance sound. But in my case I would like to go back to quite and less drone.
My current setup I have 2.5 pipping, AR25 resonator, no mid muffler, and HKS carbon fiber TI exhaust.
Im thinking about adding a mid-muffler back on to reduce sound and drone in the cabin.
Can anyone help me out with some options to a aftermarket mid-muffler? or just use the stock one?

thanks!

i am not sure how restrictive the oem mid muffler is, but how bit is your resonator??? have you tried the largest one available??? i think magnaflow has a 22" one??? otherwise you can look to adding a second resonator as an alternative...

if you do go back to quiet, you still don't want to defeat the whole purpose of your exhaust setup and bottleneck it somewhere...

Danny you're better off than me heh.. The resonator I have installed was something lying around on the shop's floor... I got kinda lucky and it sounds decent... I've been contemplating just buying a quality resonator and listening for the difference.
