Default BBK LT Headers/X pipe rattle solution found

I know I have a few threads on this but I feel it is important enough to let everyone and anyone who wants to install the BBK system to their V6 Mustang. The performance gain and sound is awesome other then that rattle sound. Solution found.

I took my car to a racing exhaust specialist here in KC. They rode in the car and heard it loud and clear. They installed a resonator. Cost $274.00

Reduced it by 90 to95%. So much better.

Just thought ya all might like to know what I did to correct it and make it
an awesome sounding Stang.

The term Resonator...to me, meaning ONE....not 2?...everything I look up that says Resonator shows it as no more than a Glass packed muffler, so are you running pipes to 2 resonators, then Axle backs out the back? sorry I'm sure I'm not the only one here so wonder what the heck the setup is too, I'm just brave enough to admit I have no clue? LOL

A resonator is a device or system that exhibits resonance or resonant behavior, that is, it naturally oscillates at some frequencies, called its resonant frequencies, with greater amplitude than at others.

Yes I installed two. They looked like this but where more hollow.
All I know is it took care of the annoying sound rattle. It worked.
They are hooked up between the catted part and the muffler.

Resonators are used to "tune out" unwanted NVH on exhaust or to slightly change the pitch of the exhaust tone.

So just adding a resonator to each pipe will solve it? I was told to weld the LT to the x-pipe and ad a hanger to each side and that will solve it.
