Default So I took off the axel-back...

I removed the factory exhaust (axel-back) just to hear what a muffler delete would sound like...amazing. The entire car port it was under was rattling. Drove around a bit just to get an idea and the tone is nice and deep, not raspy at all since the resonators were still there. Barely any highway drone.

I think I'm going to go ahead and gut the muffler to hold me by and save up a bit more for the meistershaft with valve control!

My sons friend came by with his Charger last night and he had pulled the mufflers as well...sounded great. So....forgive my ignorance..but you have to have a straight pipe to fill the "gap" once you pull the mufflers right? Will this pass vehicle inspections? ...is there no CEL that pops on?

I know this was previously asked but if you could clarify that no CELs lights turned on or other issues came up. Thanks.

No CEL. The sensors are on the cat and this is done after the resonators so no issues.

I opened up the factory muffler today but not sure how I'm going to gut it so it'll be like a straight pipe.


Quick Reply: So I took off the axel-back...
