Final update:

After a few hours of driving things have changed in my opinion:

The resonator is AWESOME! It took down the boominess of the exhaust (all of the extra bass that droned over the tone in-cabin when windows were closed). It reduced drone on highway at 3k, took away any hint of rasp (there is seriously no rasp now, just tone), and reduced volume 10-15% or so.

At cold start the rumble is gone with the resonator... but once the engine gets up to temperature the rumble is there, can be felt in the seat in a very robust way.

No rasp at all -- And I really mean it. It took a 'monster' sounding exhaust and tamed it.

Imagine turning your radio up in volume until you can hear distortion. This is what the original axleback sounded like with catless header. Now turn the radio down just a few clicks until the distortion goes away - The volume and effect is nearly as strong, but its more pleasing to the senses. This is how the axleback + catless header sounds with the 1792 Vibrant resonator installed.
