5.7 Hemi WK2 X-pipe rasp — what did you do to clean up the sound?

I have a 2017 Grand Cherokee 5.7 Hemi. I recently had the factory center suitcase muffler removed and replaced with an X-pipe. I kept both factory rear resonators.

From idle to around 3,000 RPM it sounds great. Nice deep Hemi/V8 sound and pretty much exactly what I wanted. The problem is once I get into roughly 3,000–6,000 RPM it gets really raspy and I’m not a huge fan of the sound.

For anyone running a similar suitcase delete/X-pipe setup, what did you do to get rid of the higher RPM rasp without killing the deeper low RPM sound?

I’ve considered adding a pair of small resonators like the Carven R-Series after the X-pipe while keeping the factory rear resonators. Curious what setups have worked for you guys and whether adding resonators cleaned up the rasp without making it too quiet.

Any help is appreciated!

Hemi tick?

Looking at a 101k mile grand Cherokee summit, 1 owner used as a baby hauler. I am not very informed with the hemi engine. Is this a tick or maybe loud injectors? The video is right in the engine bay. Thanks for the help!
