Default Chambered exhaust noise level

Anyone ever put resonators on chambered exhaust to tone them down a little? My wife says they are too loud for her to drive-

My understanding is that in the chambered exhaust the chambered part are resonators. On mine I have 2 18 inch resonators on my 2.5 inch Chambered exhaust. I am adding two more 18 inchers when my headers go on (hopefully) Saturday. I understand more resonators or longer ones will tone it down a bit.

Mine is a tad loud on heavy throttle, but I just have 2 of the 18 inchers in the middle. 2 more 18 inchers are going behind my headers when they go on, it should sound about right then.

Mine is a complete custom built 2.5 inch setup. My buddy and his dad had a shop till his dad passed, he took the inventory home and is selling it off, I got them from him. He will sell you a couple if you would like, if he has anymore. I will PM you with his email if you need it.
