2012 5.0 with Active Autoworks DP and tune -help reduce popping/cracking exhaust note

2012 X5 V8
Active Autoworks Catless Downpipes
Their ECU flashed tune
Stock mufflers

Exhaust note is harsh, lots of crackling, popping.. sounds like metal hitting metal if that makes any sense. Almost the opposite of a deep drone you might get on the highway at low gear.

Looking for a deeper, more refined/composed Muffled growl.

The volume isn't really the issue, it's the tone of the exhaust.

I was thinking about adding some sort of resonator within the system to help reduce this sound. Any suggestions or thoughts?
