do you have any vids of it without the muffler with cats?

how much of a difference do you think a muffler delete would be for me?

3" catless dp followed by a no-resonator, no-muffler set up is going to be loud as hell. You will be that guy. Yeah I have the hahn exhaust sounds perfect to me. The tuner sceen here: obnoxiously loud = rice.

I wasn't trying to be mean to him. Just telling him everyone I know hates when some car comes screaming by. Maybe it's just because it seems to be honda's and other cars doing it.

Should be considerably louder than your current setup and moderately louder than the stock piping resonator/muffler delete. Should sound like a neon SRT-4 how they pop and crackle but a little different engine tone due to their 2.4L engine compared to our 2.0.

I'm saying the 3" no catless/muffler setup should be moderately louder than the stock 2.5" no catless/muffler set up. It will be louder but half an inch isn't going to be anything drastic. (when comparing the two setups I stated). Just trying to give you an idea since you said you have heard the muffler delete/ resonator delete setup before. It would be louder than your current setup as well.

i havent heard a catted system with no resonator and muffler delete. i have only heard a muffler delete on 2.5. i guess it would be a little louder on 3
its a cheap mod, and easy to reverse. maybe i will try it out.

any other thoughts from anyone?

Your current setup with a muffler delete will definatly make it louder. Aside from the cat you'll have 3" diameter piping with nothing in the way, no baffles, no restrictions. So its gonna be fairly loud. Like you said, if you dont like it, you can always reverse it without costing an arm and leg.

Great 2nd video - the fly-by shots from the camera car at the end sounded really nice.

How bad is drone on the highway with that exhaust?
