Then the resonator developed a rattle (interior baffle loose), and I replaced it with a straight x-pipe. Now the sound is still good (a little louder) except at 1900-2000 rpm at highway speed -- now there is some drone! It may be acceptable but definitely not as good as when the big resonator was on.

The resonator is a straight-through design. You can look straight through it through either hole, and I'm told it does not restrict exhaust flow. (I wonder if the Magnaflow resonated x-pipe would have been a better choice than my x-pipe???)

My Advice: Regardless of what axle back or header system you have on an L99, leave the big resonator in place.

With his Solo axleback he shouldn't have to worry about drone to much. On you're set up the resonated X-pipe would make sense.
