Well I finally did it. I just completed the muffler delete. It took me about 3 hours (I like to take my time, cleaning, painting, etc..) I have to redo the left one (drivers side) tomorrow, I cut it about 1 1/2" too short. I'll weld in a piece to extend it a bit, no problem. I have to tell you this. This mod IS NOT for the faint at heart! I didnt unbolt the mufflers and listen to see what it would sound like first, I just did it. When I started it up for the first time it sounded like a stock car! It's LOUD. I have one question for those that have done this mod. The popping on decel, will this go way or get quieter? I only ran the car after for about 15 min. I dont know about performance gains from this mod, but, dam....it sounds like a fire breathing dragon!!!!:willy:

The poping tends to calm down a bit, but not much. Isn't it a nice feeling seeing those tremendous muffs coming off the car???

Hell yeah! Those things are heavy! It was pretty straight forward, except for my mistake. I didnt take into consideration that the 3" pipe would slip OVER the stock exhaust pipe nearest the flange! That's where my 1 1/2" short came from. The right side couldnt be any more perfect. I'm happy! Thanks for your help!

Take a look into the muffler. The first thing you'll see is a big restrictive wall.

I did! It looked like the "sound deadening material" was concrete!!!:willy:

Popping doesn't go away. Put headers on still popping. Took the SLP bullet mufflers of and put two Magnaflow bullets on, still popping.

Betcha throw some mufflers on soon. :lol:

If you want to mellow the tone out, do like what I did to mine when i did the muffler delete...take out the resonator and replace it with an x-pipe.

Update!!!

WoW! I could not stand it any longer! It was just to loud and to "un-refined" for me. It felt like I was driving a 1965 Ford Pick-up. I put my mufflers back on Sun, for now, until I get my LOUDMOUTH cat back. For some people this would be a great MOD, just not for me. I took a ride with my wife to WAL-MART and I could'nt even talk to her. She goes "it sounds like you dont have any mufflers" Dont get me wrong I like it loud, but it didnt even sound good. (for me) anyway thanks for all your help and feedback. :cool
