How effective are resonators in exhaust pipes?

I have a Cobb tuning cat back. The sound level is just the way I like it...not too loud. However, after I installed a downpipe and got rid of the 3rd cat, it got a bit louder than I'd like.

If I had a shop add a resonator to the straight rear pipe, would it do much to tone down the volume?

More resonators would impede the flow velocity of exhaust gases though, right? And that it turn would hurt performance? Just curious
