Default Ark is too loud, good resonator suggestion?

Instead of putting the stock back on, has any used resonators? If so, which one/would putting them closer to front more ideal for noise reduction?

how long have you had the exhaust on for? wait for it to break it. its always louder and dronier at first. once it breaks in it should get quieter and deeper. at least thats what i experienced with my Joe Z catback

I've had it for a couple of days now- how long do you feel you had yours before "it was broken in?"

Even if it breaks in, itll still be loud.. i have had it for a year now and its still loud but it got deeper. you will love it once you get used to it.

What size are your current resonators?
Too loud? Get a bigger resonator, usually go up in size by 2" should be alright.
Too much drone at certain rpm (2500k)? Drone tubes cut at a certain length and diameter help control that.
