Do a resonator delete first

Do you usually cruise between 3-4k rpms though? Only time I'm in that RPM range for extended periods is on some back roads where I'm driving a bit aggressive...

I was straight pipe for a week and I loved it, except for the massive drone between 3-4k. I live in Houston, doing 70-80 mph is the norm, the drone was nauseating.

Just got a res delete AND muffler delete today. (why not I thought)

I have no pics but here's my personal review:

It's a lot louder than I imagined it to be and I watched several videos before making my decision to do it.

What does it sound like? I owned a 2013 Fiat Abarth prior to my ST and in my opinion the sound is somewhat similar but I think the ST is now louder than my Abarth was. Yes, there is drone.

If I had to do it again, would I? Give me 3 months to see if the drone and loudness has made my ears bleed yet. (exaggerating)

Sum it up: If you're looking to achieve a deep tone with gargles, pops and lots of attention from others while driving...and want to save money over an aftermarket cat-back exhaust...GO FOR IT.

Great video. This is the direction I am heading as I already have the resonator deleted. It's good to know a catless downpipe won't be too obnoxious with stock exhaust/resonator delete.

Anyone notice a DECREASE in performance from a muffler/res delete? My butt dyno has seen a noticeable dip in performance.

Right now all I have is a green filter. Next up I have planned a COBB AP with tune, and FMIC.

I have a muffler delete on my car, sounds great. Makes the car sound 1000% better. It has an aggressive sound for a 1.6.

I have only seen a very slight decrease in torque and increase in hp. If you have a intake and access port you wont be able to tell at all.

I have a muffler delete with side exit

Not the greatest sounding vid. Haven't done an outside vid yet

Same here. I like the sound. Also went with a single tip.
