Default muffler delete

hey guys

a shop quoted me 130$ (australian) to delete my two rear mufflers and weld a straight pipe in its place with the same 4" tips i have now

would this sound good? too loud? anyone have any idea what the sound would be like??

i have a fujita intake which is the only mod that adds any sound to my car
but u cant hear it till around 3000rpm

i want to muffler delete cuz i'll get more sound from lower and would be louder than a resonator delete

if anyone could link me to a vid of a IS250 with a muffler delete that would be great, or anything that would sound similar, thanks!!!

Most aftermarket exhausts are bolt on at the rear axle. I will be way too loud outside and inside your cabin. You'll wish you didn't do it after a while. It's annoying. Maybe you should get a midpipe and axle back exhaust.
