Default Sc300 Muffler delete

I will be getting this done very soon, just having pipework from the rear resonators out to 2 straight pipes.

Does anyone find this too loud? If anyone has some sound clips it would be great. There are only a very FEW online I can find.

Thanks

I would just straight pipe the resonators instead. It gives it a nice growl at WOT, but leaves it quiet enough for regular driving.

I have deleted mufflers and deleted center cat and it sounds AWESOME! It's basically straight pipes with the resonators still on. I get compliments nearly every day about how aggressive and v8 sounding it is. I've been trying to get a sound clip for about 6 months now LOL. Seriously, best $60 I've spent on my car. It's a nice throughy growl at idle and low rpm, then gets loud above 3.5k. At WOT it is loud but very clear and controlled. It sounds like sex when you rev it

I need sound clips! See this is what I am confused about. Some people say its nice, others say its too loud.

What should I be running from the resonators? 3inch or 4 inch?, or just the standard 2.25 with 4in LONG tips?

I dont want to delete the resonators, I want to delete the mufflers and keep the resonators. Question is, should I just run whatever the stock piping it (2.25inch?) or larger.

If your staying non turbo, I'd stay with the stock diameter.
