Default Exhaust with or without resonator comparison

Just wanted to verify. Imagine we have two identicle exhaust systems, except one of them utilizes a resonator.


Now, which one would be louder and which one would resonate more? What other differences are there?

With resonator = quieter, less resonance
no resonator = louder, more resonance

A resonator is just a small muffler (usually straight through) in addition to the regular muffler that aids to quiet the exhaust note. The sound difference will vary greatly between exhaust designs and with/without resonators.
