Default muffler Delete for 25$

went to home dept and got a pipe cutter. cut right before the mufflers. pretty dam happy with the results. running with just the resonator at the end had so much drone and shook around alot. but once i added the y pipe it droned alot less and alot less noise in the cabin area and hooked up to the oem exhaust brackets

So you cut off the mufflers and were running just the resonator in the middle of the system?

How did you add your own Y pipe at home with hangers?

All the noise with no additional power.

At least you're 100% emissions compliant.

And you can't beat the price with a stick.

Pretty sure you can just unbolt the mufflers...

Mufflers are a part of the Y pipe, not bolted on (cost savings).

We'll see more cowboy mods as our cars depreciate.

Yeah I don't think we'll quite get to that point.

I can see the muffler deletes though if done tastefully with some sort of baffle system for reducing drone.

Lmao Mikersoft.

And litesoarer: Do you actually live & drive an Isf where they have the polar bear shaped license plates (Northwest Territories)?
