Resonator delete... which way to go?

Hi there guys.
I have a '15 1LT/RS and Inwant to remove that big ugly box that's called resonator.
2 questions, what is the diameter of the pipes and which aftermarket resonators you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance for your help guys.

2.25" pipes, Magnaflow Resonated X-Pipe (or not resonated if you want more volume and don't mind drone).

Do you have the dual exhaust system?
Mine has it. It's that system that when you get on the gas the flaps open, I dont know if it has anything to do with it.

The resonators are the two smaller ovals towards the back. The big thing behind the cross brace is the h pipe.

Hmmm.... Interesting. My buddy has the same exact car has mine and removed the box (pictured) and put 2 straight pipes . That thing when the flaps open sounds like an import. It sounds rice.

Yeah you have the npp exhaust. . Resonated xpipe and you're golden or delete all together sounds good on the npp

Magnaflow resonated xpipe. . In place of the suitcase resonator you have now. Would be your best bet

Maybe you're right. This "box" pictured is located towards the front of the car.
