Your cheapest and best bet is to get a Flowmaster 40 series muffler to replace the factory one, leave the resonator alone. Chekc the last 2-3 pages of the exhaust compilation sticky.

I honestly wouldn't hesitate removing the resonator and leaving the stock muffler, I removed mine and put a magnaflow muffler on, sounds nice. My brother had a resonator on his 02 altima with dual magnaflows and it sounded stock-ish which is a waste in my opinion.

The Cattman Exhaust Sounds Great and you'll pickup some ponies! Or on the cheap... Install a hi-flow Cat, and cut out that flat portion of pipe just aft of your resonator and let your local muffler replace with a straight section!

keeping the stock muffler will quiet down the exhaust a lot. so if you opt to keep the muffler, removing the resonator will increase the noise of your exhaust, but it won't be as loud as a typical catback exhaust.

Keep the resonator, it takes out any raspy sound.

I had my exhaust redone and all i added to it was a magnaflow straight flow bullet style muffler (turbo style) in place of the stock one. IT has a nice tone and will only run ya about $60 without welding
