Now I'm trying to figure out how I can see my transmission mounts from a car that I can't even fit my head under!

Yeah, you just about have to put it on a lift to do anything.
One muffler guy banged on everything, including the resonator, and absolutely swore it WAS NOT the resonator. Guess what - it was the resonator. So just whacking it with a wrench will not necessarily identify it as the source of the buzz. As someone else suggested, putting it the lift and revving the engine is a much better diagnostic.
My personal feeling is that it's better to put something other than a piece of pipe in place of the resonator, hence the glasspack, which acts something like the resonator. Of course, a lot of folks have the pipe, and it doesn't seem to cause problems. Either way, getting rid of the resonator will probably fix your problem.
