but I aim to please, the best I could find for you is this one, scroll to 1:58 minutes... A good exhaust shop should be able to build this for you.

thanks..
I know any shop "should" be able to. but it is obvious from looking at theirs that they have a process and their install is very clean.
having some shop that has never touched an RCF cut, bend, weld pipe that looks clean and sounds correct (to me) will be a crap shoot.

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!

It's just pretty much a muffler delete...any competent shop can do it with ease. Theirs is literally a axel back or I guess a resonator back. Performance should improve slightly as it replaces the factory crushed pipes in that area. Btw I inquired on the price for them to do that build and it is $1800...😂
lol $1800, I've always done muffler deletes, never paid over $300.
for $1800 you can get a full chromed exhaust system that shows legitimate gains, not just some pipe pieced together.
I realize any shop can do it, my concern isn't them being able to do it, but doing it so it looks clean.. clean welds, powder coating where needed, proper tip alignment etc.
there are a few shops around me, I will take some pictures of those RCFs and see what they can do.
I won't be paying anything close to $1800 though.. you can bet on that.

I just paid 50 bucks at my local muffler shop for a resonator delete and I'm thrilled with the sound. Sorry about the wind noise. I just bought a gopro and a car mount I will shoot a new video asap.
