The rear exhaust pieces are there to knock down the drone. Removing them is going to increase the drone inside the cabin. The mid-pipe pieces are the “mufflers” of the exhaust. Many folks choose to remove those and keep the resonators on the end, though that’s really more of a V8 exhaust thing.

The true dual aspect of the 3.6L setup is there to squeeze out a few extra HP at redline, but it hurts the overall sound in most people’s opinion, mine included.

Generally speaking, you want more exhaust pulses coming into a muffler to make a pleasing sound coming out. As such, many folks, myself included, have been satisfied abandoning the true dual exhaust on the 3.6L and going to a single DI/DO muffler in the middle and then keeping the dual exhaust coming out the end.

I left the resonators off when I went with my muffler replacement, but I have a different opinion on “drone” than most. There’s nothing saying they couldn’t be kept in place when replacing the two mufflers with a single one, I just haven’t done it on the two v6s I’ve modified.

 
You replaced the resonators and left the mufflers in place. The resonators are supposed to help with the drone, but now they are gone. Move the new mufflers to the center spots and reinstall the rear pieces. That will be about as good as you can do probably
