custom piping no res problem

i juss recently got done a 2.25 in piping with a tanabe racing medallion....i 4got to tell the person who got it done for me to ask them about a resonator....well i got the car back with no resonator....problem is it doesn't sound 2 good when it takes off....is it because the pipes are still new? (it's piping done fron the cat to the muffler....) i then went to wrk and drove it for a while and the sound was awesome it was deep....sad part is it was sooo deep and loud that my eardrums almost blew out....so bad sometimes i had to put up my music but then that started to hurt my ears....i then tried puttin bak on the silencer...wow did that sound lyke CRAP! i love the piping, i love the sound i juss don't like it when i go from 1mph-30mph cause it sounds a little raspy from 30-on flawless....now my question is...i wanna keep 2.25 piping if i add a resonator what will exactly happen? will it make the sound clearer? will it still be loud and deep? or will it soud like it has a silencer on cause if that happens i dun wanna waste my time getting a resonator cause i love it now juss a little 2 loud at times i dun think i can hear....and what kind of resonator will fit? will it soud better? it's on a 2001 civic lx...

It will just make it quieter. I have my custom piping just like yours but I get nothing raspy at all.

no it wont, I got a resonator put on because of a whiny noise at full throttle, and it is still loud as hell, but no whinny. At first you will notice it being quieter, but it will get better, trust me.
