Picking muffler replacement: Mufflers or Resonators?

My 4.6 already has the middle resonator replaced with an X-pipe. It made the sound a little more aggressive, but only by a small amount.

I've found THE sound I want, with this fellow's 4.8: https://youtu.be/xx3kq3vRxgQ
His setup:
  • Stock center resonator
  • Rear mufflers replaced with Vibrant 1792 bottle resonators.

My worry with getting the Vibrant bottle resonators is, since I already have my center resonator removed, my X5 will be too loud. The video above still has the stock centre resonator.

Btw, the reason I'm leaning towards a resonator is I understand it doesn't necessarily make things quieter, but it cuts the high frequency pitch out of the exhaust note. The video above is deep, vs the raspy straight pipe sound which I don't like. I've found many Hellcat/SRT8 owners replace the stock mufflers with these resonators and it sounds great.

I'm leaning towards a HD version of the resonator above, to replace my mufflers. I figure since the HD resonator will be quieter then the resonators used in the video above, they'll help offset the fact that my center resonator is already removed, providing a similar sound to the video above. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00...K6Y9EEQB&psc=1

Any input is appreciated before I pull the trigger. I'll def post before and after videos.
