Yes it will help your resonance and yes it has to be cut or actually what has to be cut is the original H-pipe that is on your car now.the manufacturers of the X-pipe will tell you about HP gain but you will find that all it does is change the tone-if you look in the C-5 parts you might find one for sale,hope this helps

I had too much resonance in mine - installed a Bassani X-pipe and it really took a lot of that away. I did have to cut my stock pipes to put the X-pipe on.

I did not have any luck reducing the drone of the Stingers by adding an x-pipe. I only reduced the burbling and pop on deceleration and mellowed the roar a bit.
