Muffler delete?

Anyone that has done this, how much louder is it than the stock mufflers with the fuse pull? About how much do the stock mufflers weigh?

Muffler delete

I once deleted my Muffler’s and the sound was very nice. When I went to headers with cat delete it was essentially straight pipe and to loud so I put the mufflers back, and that was good and then I pulled the fuse and it’s louder but I’m good with it. I had put on hooker blackheart mufflers which deepened the sound but they drone until the transmission shifts so I took them off, although they would probably be fine if you had cats?

The choke-point is the cats, not the mufflers. Get some high-flow cats or long tube headers. You DO NOT want to cut the NPP exhaust off of that car and weld in straight pipes. My buddy has a '13 ZL1 and he installed long tubes last fall. His car will rattle your teeth loose!

Electric cut outs right before the mufflers. Problem solved.

I am running cutout right after the headers. I don't think it gets any louder.
