Can some one explain the basic Pros and cons of the stock muffler delete, for example power gains or power loss ect ect.

As "I" understand it.. Power gains= NIL sound a little toooo raw for my liking search the forum you find plenty of video. The Muffler is already quite free flowing from the pics.... However you will shed about 20 lbs..

giod about said it all. . .

Power gains = 0
Sound Gain = Objective
Weight reduction - 20lbs
Visual = lots better the two gas tank mufflers aren't there

I just had it done this week. I actually saw dyno improvements of 6 HP and 9 TQ. I will be posting up my Dyno sheet and videos tonight. I agree with the other comments. Sound is a little deeper with a decent increase in volume. May be too loud for some, but it sounds good. The gurgling on deceleration is also much more noticeable now. That is probably a personal preference. Looks wise, it’s a HUGE improvement and yes the mufflers were several pounds each.

Go with a nice set of smaller, low restriction mufflers. They'll be lighter, and wont be as raspy as the plain muffler delete.

I agree! I used the Summit brand 12 inch glass pack mufflers.

that usually happens when you put a less restrictive exhaust on.

sounds prety good i ordered this. But if the stock mufflers arent restrictive it sure sounds like it. You probably arent going to get a whole lot of hp. I was guessing 6-10hp gain. You will probably lose 40lbs as well so that will give a small small small hp to weight ratio gain

why would anyone spend 450 bucks on the loud mouth axle back when you can get it done at a muffler shop for 150 bucks.
