Default B&B X-PIPE QUESTION

I have B&B Headers with factory H PIPE and B&B exhast. In 6th gear starting about 65 miles an hour I get some resonace. On long trips it can get kind of annoying unless I turn up the music. If I down shift to 5th it sounds a lot better.

I was wondering if an x-pipe would stop the resonace in 6th gear. I've searched different strings but none with my perticular problem.

An x pipe would help but only slightly. it would not remedy the resonance completely. Route 66 or PRTs?
