Muffler delete
 

Ok, stupid questions from the severly mechanically challenged.

What is a muffler delete? Is this simply removing the rear muffler section completely?

If so, I am assuming you could go with bolt ons like AAMs short tails. Would these be a direct replacement? Are these annoyingly loud? Any possibility of motor damage from these type mods?


Again, if so, can anyone recommend a muffler replacement? Looking for axle back only, direct bolt on.

I'm only looking for deeper, more aggressive tone. Not worried about hp gains.

Thanks for any help.

Come on guys, somebody school me here.

Short tails are a direct, bolt on replacement for the stock muffler. I do not consider the sound loud at all. It is more aggressive, but higher pitched than a cat back with resonators and mufflers. Our cars do not really get "loud" until the stock cats are replaced or removed.

You won't damage the motor. I'm not even sure an axle back would change the AFR.

Thanks for the info guys. I may save up and get a CBE instead. That seems to be the concensus for exhaust mod.

Not really. Short tails are much cheaper than a CBE. All of our CBE's are pricey.

CBE's provide the performance gains, that's why they are more popular. Axel back is mostly for the look and sound. FYI there are plenty of reasonably priced CBE's out there: CNT Racing and Garageline both sell CBE for around $600 with shipping.

I did a muffler delete from a local muffler shop because I could no longer take how quite it was! I had the muffler cut off my rear section (axle back) and then had them make two aluminum straight pipes. I had them cut off my stock tips and weld them onto the new pipes. It sounds really good! No drone and there's definitely deeper/louder tone. I'm getting the full GT Haus Meisterschaft exhaust that costs well over $2000. So a muffler delete was just a temporary solution. Don't expect any power gains, but for $50-$100 you can actually hear your car!
