Anybody take the back two mufflers off?
Was wondering if anybody had taken the back mufflers off? They unbolt at the flange... and it would be pretty easy to have a shop make some pipes to go all the way from the flanges, back to the bumper.
An opinions would be apreciated.. No rush.. just thinking it would be a cheap exhaust mod...
Thanks

It's pretty common, it's known as the muffler delete mod or something.
Personally... I went ***** out, cut everything off after the cats, and straight piped. It STILL doesn't have my Magnaflows on it, but I'm getting there.

Thanks... Your car sounds great... a little loud for me.. But still GREAT!!
I live in Ohio.. and the cops are ALWAYS lurkin .. they really like pullin you over for anything... so a loud car is just drivin with a big.. "PULL ME OVER" sign stuck to the window.
I think I will try to just do the muffler delete.. can always put them back on if its too loud... Will update when I do it.
Thanks for posting your vid..

It sounds like crap because you're running straight pipes from the cats. I had straight pipes for a day on my SC400 while waiting for exhaust parts to come in and it too sounded bad during normal driving. I also don't see how you can stand the sheer loudness of it like that. It's enough to make you go deaf by your mid-twenties.

Yeah.. I planned to soak those bolts... Gotta love PB Blaster... stuff works wonders... specially if you let it sit a while... Seafoam Deep Creep works really good too.
Hope it sounds good when I take it apart... I would love for it to have a little more rumble.. But not so loud people "Notice" it. Like I said.. the cops in Ohio can be a bit hyperactive... any reason to pull someone over.
Thanks for help.

Just by deleting the mufflers really improves th sound. I made a video long ago when I did mine. It did not make it louder in the cabin but really opened it up outside. I need to post it on YouTube with my others some time.
Removing them is easy as you say since there is a junction point with bolts.

I don't know what you're talking about, but it's not all that loud. I know buddies with SRT4's and Magnaflow exhausts that sound louder in normal driving than my Lexus. It's very bearable, the car has a very quiet cabin.

Huh? No, it's not just cut off past the cats... there's piping going all the way back.

I like it loud. Honestly, do you think I give two craps about other drivers? I want the loudest, most ear-splitting, deafening roar I can get at wide-open-throttle for everyone to hear.
Plus, it's safer. You can hear my car from a half-mile away... people (and animals) will know to GTFO the way when I'm passing through.
