Will a partition help decrease interior resonance?

Not anything measurable.
The partition could act as a diffusion panel which is used in studios to regulate sound waves, but 1 isn't going to do crap for you.
You're best bet if it bothers you is to do an insulation kit.

Ive heard that from several people myself. The partition blocks most of the sound waves (from the rear speakers) from going back into the hatch. They also say its helps but does not eliminate the wind buffeting.

I love my partition. I'm always carrying things that I just throw in the partitioned off area and when I need them they are right at arms length. Super handy for coats and caps and such. There is no change in exhaust resonance. It may be my imagination but the stereo seems to sound a little better.

However, some other posts have suggested that you can significantly decrease buffeting if you only lower one or both windows 1.5 inches from fully closed. Fully closed or fully open apparently makes the buffeting worse. Again, I can't confirm this theory yet...
As shown on the Exoticvette website, it will work fine with a cargo mat. The extra 'tail' section of carpet can then be tucked under the mat or all the way under the OEM carpet - either way you like it.
