Finally got the muffler delete...

And Damn am I happy! Sounds really loud, and pops like crazy. Wish it was a bit deeper sounding, but im not going to complain.

Should of done this mod a long time ago.

glad ya like it as much as i do..

now go and get the HF roe oval cats and you will REALLY love the sound.

im real impressed with the sound of mine after the cats install. but the two of the mods are perfect together if ya ask me.

And saves a nice chunk of change over those expensive catbacks. If you want more sound and a little more HP do what Plum suggests.

if I get rid of my muffler will it still pass the extensive emmissions that I have here in salt lake city utah, Venom1 2000gts

 

[plumcrazy]

emissions CANT be worse than NJ...mine passes

Muffler doesn't have anything to do with emissions. Removing the cat does.

OBD-II vehicles are plug-in tested, not sniffed.
Mine just passed again with HF cats.
Cat-back exhaust, or any exhaust, has no effect on emissions.
Install the HF cats for a little more sound, cooler temps. and a few more HP.

Does the size of the pipe really make a difference? from a 2.5inch pipe (stock) to 3inch? When I got my muffler cut out, they just used the 2.5inch pipe to replace because the inlet for the tips were that size.

Sound differnce? Yes, 3 " is louder than 2.5"
Power difference? Yes, because most all catbacks come with higher-flowing (louder) mufflers.
Headers, Hi-flow cats, and a 3" catback have been documented on many dynos to add HP. You can get a range of HP from say 25 - 50 at the rear wheels.
The stock exhaust is not bad, but the flex pipes will eventually deteriate. But, for all the time they are deteriating, they usually reduce flow!
