What muffler recommendations do you have? I hate the huge stock muffler just hanging down in the rear, so I want something that will look good, but also sound good too. Any thoughts? And also: would it hurt to ditch the resonator and straight pipe that section?

im in the same boat.....waiting for my bonus from work before i swap out the huge muffler....ill be going with a black flowmaster...probably a 40 series delta flow, smallest footprint i can find.....ideally i want one small enough to go straight out the back...less bends the better.....and sure you can remove the resonator.....removing that alone might give you the sound your looking for.....but im getting the muffler outta there....wayyy to big...like a bimmer muffler...
I like the straight out the rear idea. I want to remove the resonator for 1) because its lame and messes with flow, and 2) because it has a huge ding in it from the previous owner trying to drive over a curb or something. I like the straight out the back idea...not bad!

as far as exhaust goes on the nox, the only thing i don't like is the rinky dink tip that hangs down... if you all are looking for quality, non ricey, exhaust, w/o it being stupid loud, leave the resonator alone, and change out the muffler w/ a CHAMBERED non straight thru exhaust... i4 or v6, it's not gonna grumble too hard... i can see the i4's sounding very raspy and fart canish...
stock exhaust on the ss/tc is not bad... it doesn't drone, and has a nice mellow tone to it bc the turbo. ( i have one) i opted for a 3" down pipe w/ no cat, and the hahn 3" catback system, and i couldn't be happier... it has a nice mellow tone, no rasp, no fart can tin sound...

ummmm there is not a FI terrain.... (forced induction)Z_Ghost said:Well the terrain is DI FI too.
;D
And I know tha the turbo helps with the sound.
i know its fuel injected, find me a car built in the last 10(20 even) years not fuel injected.....
im 28....FI to me means forced induction....FI to some old school muscle guys means fuel injection....but as i metnioned, all cars now are fuel injected, so in my mind FI now is forced induction seeing at injection is just common practice...

Well just to clarify, the Terrain is not fuel injected either.
Fuel injected vehicles have the fuel introduced to the air for mixing prior to entering the cylinder head/combustion chamber.
Direct injection the fuel is introduced directly into the cylinder head/combustion chamber where it then mixes with the air to ignite. It by-passes the intake plenum. [ intake manifold for us 'old school' gear heads 8)]
And I would agree that, FI today would emphasize forced induction over N/A [naturally aspirated]
What I would like to know is; perhaps a new thread may be in order.
Has anyone removed the third 'CAT' along with the resonator while keeping the OEM muffler??? What's the sound like?? I'm thinking a little louder, for the V-6's anyways, and possibly a little deeper throat to it. Hopefully no drone though.
