the resonator is an aux. muffler that's 3-4 feet up from the muffler. definitely have one of these, they're very much worth it.

I severely doubt that you'll be happy with "just" a resonator, but do that first.
If you're happy with the resonator, fine. Leave it at that.
But if it's too loud, buy a muffler.

Well i went to the local muffler shop and they installed a resonator for me. at first he was gonna put one in that was from an accord but it would fit so he actually found one in the dumpster i got for free off a bmw all he charged me was 20 for installation. Its only about 12 inches long as where the accord was probally 20 inches. It took care of all of the rattling noises which is very nice, and it made it a little quieter, but i still wish it wouldnt be quite as loud. I guess i could buy a bigger one to help with the noise but i am happy for now.
