Cut the muffler off with a saws all today and installed pipes in it's place . It is louder. Nice tone ,deeper at idle. Louder and meaner sounding. I like it. It may have lost a incremental amount of torque down low but fells like it pulls stronger in the mid range...haven`t had a chance to make a wide open run..just up to 130 and let me tell you I passed a chevy truck,the driver had the window down just as I shifted into 3rd. I could hear the sound resonating off his side...I bet he just jumped.....Anyone cut out the muffler an run it on a dyno yet?
By the way the stock muffler has a small leak in it in the back where the end was crimped and the bead rolled. I could hear it ...a small black spot about 1" in diameter was visible...My dealer said I could get a new oneif I really wanted one.

 

Hi Twisted99
Most mufflers have a small hole about 1/16/to 1/8 dia. It is a drain hole. Well at least the cats are good for noise attenuation.
