What exhaust do you have, do you have any other mods, some companies sell inserts for the muffler that will quiet it so you may wanna check that out; I think there are generic ones also.

You could add a glasspact which would deepen the tone up and quiet it down some with out slowing up the flow much. Just a though.

The resonator looks like a glorified glasspack to me. Just take your resonator out, measure it, and get a glasspack that's a little longer.

There is no way in hell I'm going to pay 500 bones for an exhaust when I can build my own for $200. I've got some 2.25" mandrel bends, a welder, a band saw, and lots of time. All I need is a universal muffler, a glasspack, and a flowmaster cat.

just make sure if you get a glasspack that you get a really good one. one big misconception about glasspacks is that they deepen your tone. well the truth is they can if theyre really high quality. those crappy no-name ebay ones and cherrybombs will sound like ***. another misconception is that glasspacks always sound like ***...when in reality they can sometimes sound really good.
