Hey i am considering doing a muffler delete on my SS A6. Anyone done a muffler delete on their L99? If so, how is the drone? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks

I installed an Borla ATAK cat back. Ther is some drone, not much. I really like the new sound. I smile every time I start it. One word of caution, once you do this you will start looking at disabling the Automatic Fuel Management. It sounds strange shifting into 4 cylinder mode.

PM me if you want more details.

I had one for about a year. Us L99s dot get much drone from a delete because we have huge resonators . It will hold you off for a while and then you will want long tubes !!!!!

The AFM is what i was refering to. I have not plans of disabling it until my warranty is up. Thats why i was curious what people thought of the AFM with the muffler delete. I will leave the resonator on to help control it though.

I have no problems with it -- never bothers me @ all and love the sound on start up/ideling -
but CyberBri is right you would want LT later!

my friend has done this on his ls3,,and the sound is great..sorry i dont have ans for l99..good luck//

How long until your warranty is up? Because if it's soon then I vote you start setting cash aside for a nice full exhaust with a tune.

ZWA SS · 10-19-2012, 10:29 PM

Delete it.. It's great!

hsoj10 · 10-20-2012, 12:22 AM

My warranty isn't up for a couple more years. I'm gonna go with the delete for now. Hopefully you guys are right and the drone will be tolerable.

let us know how it goes, I am in the same boat as you.

From what I've read here the drone on the L99 will be excessive. That's why I waited a year
for the muffler delete Solo J-pipes to be offered. Great deep aggressive sound with no drone.

will most shopd do it for you, or will they pull that "its illegal to do it" crap?

I did this on my L99 and the drone sucked. It wasn't bad driving around town but it got old really quick on the highway.

If I had to do it again, I wouldn't. I'd save my money for a real performance exhaust system.

i have SLP LM1 which is basically a muffler delete. There is some drone there especially when cruising at speeds between 65-75. The AFM does kick in and is intensified by the muffler delete. However, i find that driving in tap shift mode helps eliminate that problem.
