Are you running 3" all the way out or are you running a bigger tip?

Austin,

Like above, 3" from resonators with bigger tip or resonator deletes also? How does the performance feel? Less low end torque?

Right where they cut the mufflers off, they put 3inch pipe in its place all the way out. And, I felt no difference at all in torque

How/why would 3" be better when the smaller pipe is the restricting size?

For the people that have had this done and have had it for a few months too a year. Do you still have it and enjoy it!? I'm about to bite the bullet I believe and get it done!

I'm getting the MRT axle back exhaust v2, would doing a muffler delete improve the sound? or would it be overkill?

I've been running with no mufflers since about a month after I got the car, that is March of this year. I wish I knew someone who could drive my car like I do to drive it past me so I can hear what I can only image is an awesome sound passing by!

Sound seems a bit louder than my 2002 vette with magnaflow, which was a cat back, resonators only (below driver seat area) and straight pipes back.

Both have throaty idle note.

Yea you need to let someone drive it. When I did my magnaflow Xpipe and muffler delete, I told my girl to gun it and drive by me, it sounds awesome, I couldnt tell it sounded like that from in the cabin

3 inch pipe from the resonators sounds interesting. I wonder how it sound on my Xpipe muffler delete. I wish I woulda known this when I did mine.

I went to get this done, mechanic chuckled. I said wtf, he said I wouldn't like it. Needless to say I had flowmasters installed. I would like to find one locally and hear it.SS
