You should remove the mufflers before you remove the resonators. Resonator-less will sound like doo doo.

Here's what my Joe Z (stock headers) sounded like with the mufflers taken out but resonators still in. The muffler delete tips are for sale, they'll bolt straight up to your Joe Z exhaust. No need to cut, weld, or anything. Just remove the stock fake tips since these are now real and bolt up to your Joe Z mid pipe.

Thanks! I'm surprised I still have it, honestly. It sounded great but I went with a QES in hopes of getting something louder, turns out the QES isn't as loud as expected and was about the same as the exhaust in this video.

Might be time for a meistershaft and headers once I sell these muffler deletes...

My current setup is JoeZ Exhaust with HFC, PPE Headers, stock intake, but with QTP cut-outs. Get the Cut-Outs so you have choice how to drive each day.

I'm tempted, but I'd need to find a muffler-less Joe-Z setup to buy first...

I wanted something like that - similar to the PPE dual-mode, but the price tag of the dual-mode really turned me off.

More louder will probably give more rasp. It probably won't sound more gooder!
