Default Muffler delete on '08 tbss?

I am looking for exhaust options on an '08 Trailblazer SS. I was thinking a Muffler delete, but i was wondering what people think would be the best idea. (also truck is still under warranty)
Thanks, Colek350

It will sound like *** and be very very loud.

A simple muffler change will sound much better and it's not that much more expensive.

If you want loud get a cutout(s) that you can open and close.

so like a magnaflow or something like that? ive heard that some of them arent as loud as they make them seem or people talk about. i have a friend that removed his resonator and put a straight piece of pipe to replace it and it sounds pretty badass. im not completely sure what muffler he put on there though, ill have to find out.

i did the muffler delete on my 07 TBSS and it is not that loud at all...in fact i think it's too quiet but it's my wife's DD and she don't want it any louder so whatever....i don't think it sounds bad at all....just keep the resonator on the back and you'll be fine...

Yeah if you keep the resonator and have stock cats and manifolds it would be ok...just don't go straight pipe from the manifolds back.

Should be under $100 depending how far back you go.
