All of these aftermarket ones come with tiny resonators...well, except the Blitz VSR I had, that one was huge.
I don't have the OE resonator in the midpipe, but it's a very large helmholz setup Thermal added. So not really contradictory, but not sure it has to be OE.

I was including 'nice looking and without odd buzzes and rattles' in my list of requirements. Also maybe not making a parachute of the rear bumper.

If I were competitive and thought 10lbs mattered that much that's a different story. Hope the Dezod works out for you though!
