Straight pipe LFX

What do you guys think of deleting the mufflers, straight piping from the cat up, and adding 4" inch tips. The inlet would be 2.5" and the outlet 4" Here is a video. I think it sounds badass best I've heard IMO.

Like dmginc said it will be VERY raspy and not sound good.. I have the resonated xpipe and muffler delete and it's borderline too loud. I imagine this would be way loud and the in cabin drone would prob be bad too. You really need either an xpipe or the factory hpipe, the pressures need to be equalized for performance I'm pretty sure.

Yeah that's a good point don't want to sacrifice any performance but I'm thinking about running the setup in the vid but with an x-pipe

I would suggest the magnaflow resonated xpipe and keeping the factory resonators it sounds good.

Or look at the Solo exhaust. NO muffler, but has the Jpipe to control drone.

I currently have resonator and muffler delete with magnaflow resonated x pipe and straight pipes out to the stock tips (adding 4 inch tips soon) and I love it! There is no drone except for around 2000rpm. I would definitely add a resonated x pipe!
