Finally said screw it and took it off this evening, planning on getting pipes fab'd Monday.
I honestly did not notice a bit of difference between washer mod and taken the whole assembly off...

I'm glad I did it but now it's not loud enough....

Go figure, any ideas on making it louder (i.e. HFC's or test pipes)?

Test pipes will give it a bit of volume, but will add some rasp to the note (very IMSA like).

Ahh, thanks. I may go that route.

Well I'm glad I went this route, took the muffler off and drove 2 days with it off.. Was very unamused how quiet it was. Little did I know as soon as you put pipes and tips back on the noise level multiplies 50 x's!.. I don't think its "loud" at all until you really get into it.. but I love it now sounds sick!
I painted the pipes black so they are not as noticeable.. heres a pic 3/4 of way through install.

Nice! Looks exactly like mine and I agree, I don't think it's that loud until you get into the high RPM range. A friend of mine has a 'vette ZO6 and he removed the mufflers and ran straight pipes. His setup is ridiculously loud compared to my car.

Yeah I know that noise, I used to own a couple Vipers prior to the Z, One of which was a 94 RT/10. Pretty much straight pipes considering it was from the header to a 12'' muffler then out below the door.. really opens up once you get rid of there GIANT converter and mufflers.

I really dont notice it on mine at all? Its honestly quiet until you get past 2,500. When Im cruising on interstate (when Im actually moving) its dead quite unless I kick it down to pass a car..

Actually, I don't mind it. Has anyone done a dyno to see if there are any gains at all with this setup? I know I've read some other topics on this board that relate to it but I wasn't sure if there was any difference.

so wait, is it possible to fit a 12 inch resonator on a "muffler delete" pipe?

Im thinking of doing this and putting an ultra quiet resonator on there. Im curious as its probably louder than stock, but not much.

F1loco · 08-24-2012, 06:00 AM

Here's the stock resonator and muffler delete I had on mine...perfect set up...IMHO...
