i just got quoted $75 cause he said hes gotta remount the hangers? thought that sounds a little high

 

that is a lil high....search around

 

im gettin a ss/tc in about a week.. but i never really paid attention to the ss/tc stuff til now. and i must say this idea sounds kinda dumb but if it works then i might do it and save myself $500 from buying a new exhaust

first off how loud is it? is there any hp/tq gains? any CEL?

 

zero CEL, not very loud unless you have your foot down. You won't gain anything hp/tq wise on anything u do on the ss/tc without a tune, that has been proven time after time already. I think with a larger tip the muffler delete would sound a little better than the stock tip, i have yet to experiment with this but another member has a 4.5inch tip on his ss/tc with muffler delete, tho everyone who has done the muffler delete loves it after anyway.

 

hmmm so many options. Im ready to do an exhaust and intake too, just need to decide what I want to do....

OMG, how'd I miss this LOL-erific thread. Why is this, of all things, stickied yet the TVS FAQ which is very useful, is not...

FYI, I have nothing against this mod, it's no more ricer than a boost bypass mod some did before tuning was avail. If ift sounds good, then it sounds good. Cutting a muffler will not show a huge gain (or loss) in hp/tq nor set off a CEL. It'd need a sensor in the muffler to trigger a CEL.

 

i asked because i figured the muffler would restrict airflow.

 

Does Anyone Have A Straight Pipe****cattless Dp And Muffler Delete?

 

BTW, I thought this said sticky. It doesn't look like it does now

Carry on

 

pretty good chance of that i got the GMPP on my SC and it gets enough attention

 

nah, I drive past tons of cops everyday and they never give me any trouble for my muffler delete on the ss/tc.

 

i have muffler delete, I plan on going to muffler shop and asking him to cut out my over the axle bend and redo it with bigger piping so it wont restrict there. Then when I get a downpipe I will pretty much have a full exhaust. **** spending 600 bucks for the same thing. as long as it moves the air quick and sounds good im happy. I got so used to my no muffler it sounds kinda quiet to alot of the other cobalts I roll around with. I wonder what it would sound like if i cut the resonator out.

 

prob a lil bit louder and deeper. i would assume it would sound good.

Wonder what it would sound like If you cut open the muffler Gutted it and then sealed it back up?

 

^itll probobly sound like a muffler delete

 

Sounds like a NSRT to me. Pretty good

 

^me too, i like it.

 

im thinking of doing this and have been calling around but all the estimates that i have gotten has been anywhere from $60-$100 which seems high compared to prices i have been reading here.

also one question i have is after they took out the muffler did you have them install a just a straight pipe or a straight pipe through a hollowed out muffler to pass any inspections. and what size was the pipe that you put in, in place of the muffler?

 

does ne body live in long island ny with the muffler delete want to meet up so i can hear it in person cuz in some videos it sounds good and others it sounds not so good
