Muffler Delete, Before vs After (Video)

I thought I would post a before and after video comparison of a muffler delete on an otherwise stock LS3. It includes idle, revs, and a drive-by.

Oftentimes an exhaust mod is one of the first to be considered after purchasing a Camaro. For those who may want a sound that's more aggressive than stock, but don't have the bank to get a full catback exhaust right away, this reference may be a useful tool to see if they think it's worth doing permanently, or even as a temporary mod until a full exhaust upgrade can be had later.

I know there are many muffler delete threads, and I've posted this vid in a few of those, but I thought I would give this it's own thread as a specific comparison between bone stock exhaust and straight pipes.

If you have a stock L99 before and after muffler delete vid, post it here so that it can be conveniently referenced by those who are interested, all in the same thread.

Edit: For some reason the video will not embed in an original thread post, so I have embedded it in the post below.

Depends on the RPMs, which of course vary, and as far as what constitutes too much drone is a very subjective issue. To me its not bad at all and is well behaved when you need it to be, (at or below 2k) but some may disagree.
