go to your local parts store and grab a cherry bomb, the longer and the further back you place it the more it will tone it down

If only you had a forum that could have told you how bad it would sound straight piped... oh WAIT!

A resonator might help with SOME drone, but it's still going to sound like crap IMO.

went to the link you have and that is the same price as a cherry bomb glass pack, i put a cherry bomb to replace my res on my saturn when i pulled the stock the only difference between the two where the stock had the cuts(holes to trap exhaust noise) pointing up into the exhaust stream, and the bomb went into the fiberglass

drive to the parts store > shiping cost and waiting for it

so as far as reducing noise, a glass pack would be the way to go?
for example, would this work better than the one i first posted?

i can almost garantee that they are built the a same way from what i have seen most resonators are glas packs!

and like i said the further back you place it and the longer it is the more it will reduce

i have had experiance with it may times, my budy loved to stick them right off his headers and it would be just stupid loud and drone like crazy, he finially put some piping then the glas pack and it cut way down on drone and stupid loudness,
came out to have a nice mellow tone, granted this had been on SBC 350's and Mopar 360's but i would asume the principle is the same, the furth you put it toward the rear axle the more it will tone it down a 20 in should be good, i have a 23 bomb on the saturn going throught the stock muffler and you cant tell i changed anything with the exhaust so no muffs it should kill the drone and stupid loudness
