i have an 08 tc stock. i plan on getting a full exhaust soon but until then i was thinking of going with the muffler delete. what you guys think?

 

muffler delete. better yet leave the stock exhaust on and get a dp. Thats what im doing. the stock exhaust is a really good one. 2.5" equal bend tubing. sounds pretty good too. with a DP it will still sound the same under normal driving, but when you go WOT, it will sound awesome.

 

i would get the delete. sounds really good and its cheap as hell. get the damn DP too. thats just like 3x as much as the delete

 

ugh, another MD thread!

I'm about to throw on my catless DP with a muffler delete. I know it's going to be too loud, so I'll probably be getting my muffler put back on.

 

im gonna get the 3" DP, then get myself a custom 3" catback. i just cant justify 600 for a piece of pipe. hear you can get a mendrel custom for like 200bucks if you find a shop that mendrel bends

 

Depends on what you want to do.

It kicks me out of the street drag class (cars must be muffled).

It prevents me from participating in autocross (again, cars must be muffled).

So I thought about it then said no- because it's an all show/no go maneuver that prevents me from doing what I wanted to do.

*edit, and also, most road racetracks require you to be muffled on track days.

 

are there any neon srt-4's that compete? they have no mufflers from the factory. loophole! lol

 

when i go catless it will be a different story. but i dont know any thigns around me that require me to have a muffler..

 

That's a good point . Maybe it's a workaround if it's stock. When I did the paperwork at my local 1/4mile- was on the form and on the entrance for the participants 'must be muffled'.

Well hell, I just looked it up and cut and pasted from website:

"Only street-legal and muffled machines are permitted to participate. Fully rigged race cars are turned away, although street-legal racers do have their choice of running either street tires or drag slicks for added traction. The Firebird Night Fever Street Legal events feature time trials and grudge racing only, which gives each racer the opportunity to make the maximum number of passes. Grudge racing permits participants to choose their competition rather than participate in an organized eliminator. Win or lose, participants may return to the staging lanes for more time trials or grudge runs."

So if I don't have a muffler, I have to go to the open events where cars are doing 10's and I'm in the way.

 

well for people like yourself, dont get a muffler delete.

 

if i was to go custom i think i would just go with a custom straight pipe and then just throw the stock one on for inspection resions

 

i just got back from the shop that just did my muffler delete and i love it and i dont do any auto-x so im not worried about any of that stuff but if you do looks like you should check the rules before getting stuff done to your car.

 

i know this must have been talked about b4 but i was just curious as to how loud the car really is with a muffler delete cuz i just got my ss/tc 2 weeks ago and i want it to be louder but not to the point of drawing attention from cops like my last car i got followed everywhere i went with that thing

 

you'll be fine ... seriously. It's not as loud as everyone thinks. The turbo muffles a ton of the noise already

 

wow thanks for such a fast reply thanks i think iam gunna get it done 2d

 

awesome sound. a little louder than stock at idle nice deep tone at wot! only cost me $20

 

getting mine done tommorow morning ill let you guys know how i like it

 

if i see another muffler delete thread im going to leave this site

 

promise?

 

just made a new muffler delete thread so cya =)

 

lol

def do the muffler delete...exhaust shops will prob charge ya around 75-100$ for it and its not too bad at idle and cruising but when you get on it, it sounds like sex!!

 

Anyone have any sound clips?

(looked up on youtube I think it sounds ok).

 

don't do it. get a side exit exhaust instead

 

just got it done toady n it souns sick

 

How much did it cost you? just curious. 70 seems a little high to me. How is it inside the car?
