Another Muffler Delete Question
I went to have it done yesterday (L99), the guy told me it might throw a code due to the reduced backpressure. Has anyone gotten a "Check Engine" light from a muffler delete?
And my powertrain warranty should remain in effect, right? Thanks, |

Not that I'm aware of. The stock mufflers have such low back pressure already, IMO, the muffler delete does nothing but affect the sound. I have had the muffler delete for almost one year without any problems.

No codes. Get a new shop...
With headers, HF cats and muffler delete, it will be loud, very loud. Be prepared! |

I have the resonators on and have no drone at all and think it sounds great. Do you think it will sound bad?

It's all in someone's preference though. There are a few around here that love the muffler delete with headers. WAY to loud for me but might be ok for you. Just be prepared to make some kind of change if you have to. Maybe you'll get lucky and can handle the increased sound.

So what is the muffler delete? Are you just removing the mufflers and installing a straight pipe?

I had the mufflers removed and installed larger tips to straight pipes from the resonators. The sound is really good but I am worrying that after the LT headers and X pipe are put in it maybe to loud.

I have an LS3 with Muffler delete and a Volant CAI. The sound it great with no drone. I've never had a problem or thrown any codes from either. The stock setup was just too quiet!
