Vibrant Resonator Question

I want to get a resonator for my exhaust as it's way too loud for me. I have the pacesetter catback and c/a downpipe/hi flow cat. I've never messed around with a resonator, i'm wondering if i should get the 12" or the 18". also, will a resonator make it alot quieter? i'm looking to quiet it a little and get rid of the rasp i was lucky enough to acquire after i put the downpipe on.

I should say quieter, you will still here it. Its still gunna be kinda loud, but the rasp will almost all be gone.

yea, that's what i'm looking for... i don't really care if it's loud, i don't want the rasp... my setup sounds amazing below 3k rpms... higher than that is flat out embarrasing to drive around the way it sounds...

yes, it's super raspy... i let the car warm up to at least 150 before i will drive in the morning, and if i have time i'll let it warm all the way up to normal operatin temp, right around 189...
