Thank you gents for your excellent feedback, makes me want to go work on this NOW but the temps haven't hit above freezing yet so I'll have to wait another month or so.
I mentioned on my first post that I tried four different mufflers and one of them was this Magnaflow unit, which is basically a higher caliber Cherry Bomb . I kid you not, I wanted to BLOW my brains out for the two hours I drove around with it. Even though it was a nice package, didn't impact the boost in any way, it did very little to quiet the freqs but with a Hemholtz resonator, it may not be so bad now. Not that I actually need to install it again, it's good to have options. V band clamps make swapping out parts quite lovely.
The first pic shows the space I have for J pipe Hemholtz resonator above the muffler, or to the side. Second pic shows another potential space to put a J pipe perpendicular to the exhaust flow.
Since I'm not an experienced exhaust pipe welder, I opted to use 2.5 to 2.5 union everywhere I had to butt weld the pipes together. This prevented blowing through the pipe as well as prevented goobers in the air stream.
