Correct me if I'm wrong, but the resonators job is to cut the "drone" out of the exhaust tone. And the muffler is to keep it quiet, that being said I was thinking of taking my truck to a local shop and have them weld in a strait pipe where my muffler is and leave the resonator alone. Has anyone done this before or anything similar? I looked up exhausts on YouTube and I'm worried that my little 2.7 will sound terrible because some of the 3.4 on YouTube sounded great, others I personally found to sound awful. Some of the trucks had a really loud turbo noise and not much motor sound (that's what I would like to go after). Am I doomed to have a v6 hornet sounding truck or is there a way to get a little more noise/flow out of it with out an awful tone?

When I had my 2012 F-150 EB, I removed the muffler and resonator and replaced it with a Flowmaster 70 series muffler. It wasn't too loud, but the interior drove was a little too much. I ended up installing an aftermarket resonator to tone it down. If you remove the muffler and leave the resonator on, you will have a horribly loud V6 sound. I would recommend an aftermarket performance muffler and keeping the resonator. Depending what you'd buy, you'll get more V6 sound, but not as loud as a straight pipe. The youtube videos are deceiving. I don't know of any exhaust system that will make the turbo sound louder and at the same time cancel out the V6 sound.
