I did not think it would sound this good. I was looking to make my Z open up to hit that nice "VQ tone" in the mid-range (2.5k-4.5k) essentially the GTR tone. And this muffler delete mod done just that. It is not obnoxious at all, it is a very good tone that opens up the car just enough. I even get an ever so slight burble when I let off the accelerator just right once in a while. I wish the Z's would come like that from factory. Defenitely recommend this for someone looking to start out on exhaust mods and doesn't want to go full out cbe.
Do you still feel the same way about it? I just left my exhaust shop and that what he's suggesting I do. I'm looking for better sound. I don't expect a performance gain just doing the muffler delete. I just don't want it to be annoying and no drone (a little I can deal with).

Well, you're ditching about 25-30lbs by removing the rear muffler section, and most axleback systems are less than 10lbs or so for both pipes combined (probably even less for non-resonated). So even if overall exhaust flow is unaffected, it is still technically a performance mod.

I went with the Remark V1 kits. Not sure the weight difference but it's definitely lighter than the stock muffler.
