Years ago I rerouted the exhaust of my Explorer to the side because the rear exhaust melted a tire off a bicycle I had on a rack back there. The 2007 Expedition was a side exhaust but since the 2017 is like the Explorer was I'm considering a side exhaust here too.

Any experience or parts?

I read the resonator was added, to quiet down the raspy exhaust on New models. Artificial, powerful sounding "exhaust" is pumped through the front speakers. Can anyone confirm, this is true? In vehicle that big, Ford could of hid resonator, under the body. A muffler shop can easily remove it. Just make sure they use stainless or you will be looking at a rusty tail pipe.

I don't get any exhaust sounds pumped through the front speakers. I think that is only on the F150s.

Correct, No sound Augmentation on the 15-17 Expedition except Platinums. Maybe the 18+? My Edge Sport has it, and honestly I don’t mind it. Turned it off for a while and ended up turning it back on.

FWIW, I’m pretty sure my wife’s Platinum actually does the augmentation.
I can hear the engine in her truck way more clearly than mine despite hers being overall quieter inside and mine not having stock exhaust.

Yes, Only the platinum’s do it. I amended my original post.
