cut out a section of straight piping and replace with a resonator. that will be the only way unless it came with a silencer which i doubt....

You bought a crappy used axle back, axle backs always sound bad and ractive products are junky.

I guess as stated before adding a res or replacing yours would help but really its just a cruddy part.
