Backfire

Running fully catless with 2 resonators and a backfire tune, Will 2 more added resonators reduce/remove the backfires. I want to dampen the sound with extra resonators but i like the burbles when i let off.
thanks

Resonators are mufflers, which make things quieter through absorption or reflection. It's possible that those will reduce the volume of the backfires or make them totally inaudible.

It's also possible that said resonators will get blown out by the constant backfiring and sound even worse in a few weeks.

I guess it comes down to what's more important: the backfire sound, or your hearing/drawing attention when driving past cops.
