I know you can do this on the S/C models. But I think on the T/C models, the turbo actually quiets the sound a lot right? So if you delete the muffler, it won't be really loud?

What about the S/C, I bet if you delete the muffler it'll be loud as hell right?

Yes it will be loud on an S/C. The s/c models only have 1 cat on the stock downpipe and the t/c has the turbo plus two cats to quiten it down. I would not recommend a muffler delete on a s/c model.

I think that depends on were you live and how loud it is. In order to pass you have to have someone that don't give **** or be under the dedicated DB level. Most 4cyl will be under this levels without a muffler, but are still annoying.

cut off muffler where axel is and weld a straight 3" pipe to your exsisting 2.5 pipe and weld stock tip on, shouldn't be more than 75 bucks, sounds like an srt 4 with exhaust work, but less money and lots o burble and popping
