Default Resonators Question

I'm currently running an off-road H and stock mufflers and would just like to clean up the sound a little bit. I'm thinking about getting some resonators but don't know what size or brand or any specifics? Any suggestions?

dynomax seems to be the common choice. I tried some and liked them.

i recommend getting some glasspacks. They are not mufflers but just resonators which is what i have on my car. I have LTs, O/r H with glasspacks where the mufflers should be. Its a very smooth sound and no drone. Rev it up and it screams. I also have an electric cutout for when i want it throaty and loud.

What size though? The main reason for adding the resonators is to clean up the sound of the car when my cutouts are open. Car I just get 8" glasspacks and mount them before the cutouts?

well whats the point of the cutout then if you want to clean up the sound. The glasspacks completely quieted the sound of my car. Basically if you put the glasspack in front of your cutout when its open, it will just sound like my car (quiet lol). The reason for me getting the cutout is to have my car loud when i want, not power gains or anything cuz i know im not gonna get any.
