Unhappy Resonators? HFC? Or am I out of luck?

I had my shop weld in 2 vibrant performance resonators today in hopes of quieting the exhaust down somewhat. Since the Catless DP, its way too loud for me.

After the installation, during cold start the idle was still the same (super loud).
Once warmed up it wasnt as loud as before and I noticed while driving that in the higher rpm range it was a tad quieter.

However its still obnoxiously loud and im wondering whether it would help if I added 2 more resonators, or 2 HFC?

My last resort is to put on the stock axle back which I really dont want to do, and I heard that it sounds like crap apparently with Catless dp.

What should I do?

Every GT exhaust I have heard has been ear splitting loud. They sound great but very loud. Hi-flow cats would quiet it down for sure at the cost of some performance. It might be worth it to try another set of resignators.
