That sounds MEAN as hell. Do you still have the cats and resinators? I have the muffler delete already and was thinking about adding headers but was a little curious how it would sound. I do belive you just answered that question for me.

No i do not have cats right now...I did leave the resonators in.........

video link fixed, its "U2B" (for "U-tube")... not U26

... but wouldn't you like to be able too turn it down on demand (cutouts/diverters)... I had a similar setup, and after a couple days it got annoying

Mine isn't annoying. Under normal driving it sounds deep and aggressive but not obnoxious. Cruising on the highway in 6th and it's downright quiet. WOT is another story though. Just mean.

Is the magnaflow comp series the same as a muffler delete? no resonator? baffle? diameter changes? ... most Magnaflow stuff is very quiet.

i.e. does yours sound like CamaroCowboy's?

and, did you ever crank it up without the axleback? .. open x-pipe?

my setup was: 2" ARH LTs to 3" HF cats to x-pipe to nothing. It would make your ears bleed.

If I change the exhaust, I want to hear what I payed for! I like it loud. If I wanted a comfy cruiser I would have bought a caddy!

i like ur point of view! and its true!

I would remove the mufflers and keep the resonators if I knew I was not going to get headers. The sound is great and it can be quiet in normal driving and sound like a race car at WOT.

If you are going to get headers I would keep my mufflers until you can get a catback also. I installed the Borla Atak yesterday and it sounds mean but you can talk in the car cruising but when you open it up it sounds like a indy car I love it.

Yes the Comp series is the same as a muffler delete, no resonators, no baffles, etc. Mine doesn't sound quite like his because I do have high flow cats in my Xpipe (ARH 1 7/8" LT's as well), but it's very similar. I think the cats help it tone it down just a tad but it's still very loud and aggressive at WOT.

Oh and my Comp series is 2.5" but you can get it in 3".
