When I got my exhaust done (2.5" catback with lukey LR2779) they got rid of my stock reso. I had the car for a couple of weeks and the exhaust sounded really bad (Buzzing sound, was very ricey), to get rid of this buzzing the exhaust place put on a massive reso. Ive had this reso on for a few months now, but recently decided that my exhaust is too quiet and raspy with it on.

So my question:
Is it possible to get a smaller reso put in place of the bigger one? I really dont want to have to get the whole 2.5" piping done again. And do you think the buzzing will come back with a smaller reso?

Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpFssPb-hwY) a link to what it sounded like with the buzzing.

Not suprising my exhaust is so quiet and raspy, its huge!

Edit: I believe its a lukey Polyglass? or something like that...
