Default Muffler delete

Hello everyone,

I just removed the muffler for a straight pipe. The sound is really nice not to loud.

Louder and less weight, is about it. might gain a half horsepower lol but definitely feel more powerful.

If youre thinking about it. It's one of the cheapest, easiest and coolest mods you can do.

Next mod will be the downpipe in a few weeks.

Cheers
Here is the link for the video sound on YouTube:

I'm not usually into mods, but that sounds pretty good

To me, that sounds like some cheap boy-racer civic. Personally, it feels like you have cheapened the quality of the car.
If you wanted a more sports oriented experience, perhaps you should have gotten an RC or for a cheaper price, an IS.

Everyone is different. I really enjoy my cheap boy-racer Civic sound.

Fully agreed that everyone is different. I guess that's what makes the world go round! Peace bro!

OP, not my cup of tea (hard to make a 4 cyl sound pleasing to my ears), but thanks for sharing and useful for those thinking about doing the muffler delete. Would be interesting to hear clip under acceleration from outside.

Good idea, I will make a video from outside and post it.

I like where your head is at, lighten weight and possibly free up exhaust pressure. I suggest a through flow resonator to bring the sound back down though. I would love my NX to be faster but I do not desire my luxury crossover to be loud at all.

Cool

Looks like it's loud but it's more quiet than a catback exhaust. I will post a video shortly under acceleration from outside. Let me know what you think

A little to loud for my taste, but I do like the fact that it was a cheap mod. You are improving performance based on the weight loss alone.
