DON'T do a Muffler Delete

BlackSovereign · 05-25-2018, 11:17 PM

Holy shit. I removed my muffler with just straight pipes. Worst mistake ever.

I love the new burps when decelerating and throbbing idling noise when its sitting still. I even love the new louder rumble when it starts up. BUT I honestly cant stand anything higher than 3500-4000 RPMS, Its just constant fast low frequency drone. I felt my brain coming out of my ears everytime I accelerated above those rpms. So I'm basically shifting earlier than I should just to avoid the droning.

I don't know how else to describe it. Its a very harsh low frequency noise.

If your going to replace your axel back - get one with a muffler!

Thankfully it's a fairly easy fix

Here’s a solution:
MBRP 3” catback($490 & free shipping) with secondary cats deleted

Yes, drone is an issue without the stock mufflers. Make sure that if you get a catback, it also doesn't drone at some highway speed. Do some research on this forum to see what the members think about different brands.

Muffler delete on an american V8 = Ricer!

If you want it louder, look into a freer flowing exhaust that also makes it sound like something other than a loud dump truck!

The cheapest fix for this droning issue is to put augers inside of your existing pipes. They are about $30 and will get rid of the drone guaranteed.

The stock muffler is not that big of a restriction. The rest of the crushed piping and cats that you left is. So really it's not much function, just more noise.

It weighs like 40 lbs. Soooooo yeah... lots of function. Not all performance is based on hp..... that's ricer thinking

You have options still. You can still always get the augers as suggested or a J-Pipe welded on to get rid of the frequencies up high.

I removed my muffler with no issues. some of the above solutions should help if you dont want to spend more money on a axle back

jerryb1984 · 05-28-2018, 09:16 PM

I deleted my mufflers and have been happy with it. A little loud at startup but besides that pretty decent sound overall for a hundred bucks.
