So I wont be able to pull the trigger on the GT Haus/Headers for another 5-6 months and this rig is way to quite stock. I am looking for a cheap alternative until then. I like my cars loud. I assume a muffler delete would be louder than the Borla Attack? I could find some 5" inch tips somewhere and go to an exhaust shop and have them welded up to straight pipe for $400 maybe?
Just did a muffler delete on my 14. Replaced rear boxes with magna flow 18' straight tips. Very happy with the sound so far but its only the first day. Will keep you updated!
On a scale of loudness with stock being a 3/10 I'd say it's now a 7-8/10 very clean note, and a nice crackle and pop coming from the down shift. Only complaint at this stage is a slight drone coming in at gears 2-4 in the 30-50 km/h range. The tips are 18" long magnaflow polished stainless at 4" diameter. Going to live with this for the next few weeks and see how I feel. If the drone gets to me, might put in some variable mufflers such as verex by x-force.
Why don't you set up Qtec Electric Cutouts right after the Headers. My mate RumbleBee (he is a forum member too) has the full stock exhaust with no cats. After he set up the cutouts he got the really wonderful and extremely roar sound when its open. It is 3x times louder, than my botla atak with sw headers and no cats. Really sound wow!!! The price is around 400-500 usd and you can ride in stock silence on a long trip on a highway...
Now I'm waiting for my gt haus, and I will set up the qtec cutouts right after the headers to have a really extrime sound option...
I've had a bunch of different cutouts on my Vette's (That were dyno tuned with the cut outs open). My concern with doing it on this rig would be loss of low end torque and throwing a code if its off the headers. Since tuning is so shitty (Or lack thereof on these rigs), I don't see anyway of no throwing a code or losing a bunch of low end torque?
Nice. I'm seriously considering this. Maxxy9 mentioned that he heard that the resonator (suitcase) delete may cause problems with the mufflers down the line. What are your thoughts?
You can get them to stay open by rotating them open by hand, then moving the end of the spring two positions. If it doesn't stay open the first time, move the spring end back and go two positions in the other direction. You can do all of this by hand, no tools required. It is also reversible if the urge so suits.
