OK, I have gotten dozens of pms over the last couple months regarding the muffler delete and "how does it sound...". So, I figured I would just take a few vids under different circumstances so you could get a decent representation how it sounds and hopefully, settle some of the confusion.

The car has the OEM headers, the OEM intake, both OEM resonators, and no muffler... just piping out the back to tips. Also has a vorsteiner dual sided hood if that makes any difference (maybe it's lighter so has less sound dampening :dunno: )

Anyways, here you go. I figured doing it at night would be best as you could see the speedometer and RPMs best.:

I did a muffler delete, but just angled the pipes down where i cut... Give the rear end a flush look. Nice IMHO. It sounds awesome. Has some drone but not a whole lot actually. Also as far as torque and HP gains.... Nothing noticeable, except in the upper range. But not like zomg HP!!!! However I did gain .1 seconds on my 1/8th times.... All in all for the price I would certainly recommend it.
