Can you quiet down an hks hi power with a resonator?

Hi, this is my first post but I have been reading the forum like crazy since I bought my car last week. I bought a slightly rough looking but good running 04 rx8 for $1600. I traded my stock exhaust for an hks hi power from a guy on Craigslist. The exhaust sounds great but it's too loud for my liking. I like a good exhaust not as much as the next guy but would love to quiet it down a little bit. I was wondering if adding a cheap resonator like a 12" vibrant to the midpipe would quiet it down a bit.

Thanks! I'm glad to be here
