Default Should I Get Resonator?

I was thinking about picking up a HKS Carbon Ti and getting some custom piping done on it. From sound clips, the muffler sounds great. The shop I might go get the piping done at is asking me if I want to put a resonator on it. How will the resonator change the sound of the exhaust? Will it lower the amount of droning? Give me your opinions.

Resonator is what helps make the noise level from being too loud and reduces/eliminates the droning sound inside the cabin.

Glad I listened to you guys. Instead of doing a catback.. i had a resonator back done and its super loud!!

Looks good though and its growls and purrs beautifully at ideal. I haven't been able to get it to freeway speeds yet because of traffic but probably lots of drone.
