So I called my exhaust shop in town and they are willing to do the muffler delete for 50-75 dollars! I'm also one of those guys that wants an exterior throaty sound but not outrageously loud! Am I doing the right mod for the price to meet my requests? I'm guessing the muffler can be welded back on if I think it sounds too ricey, right?

Current mods
-Trifecta Advantage+ tune
-K&N CAI with Injen filter and pre-filter

Yes or a better one that doesn't look so hideous from behind. That's what I plan on doing. Muffler and a tip cutout.

I love the sound of the muffler delete for the price. It got a little raspy when cold but otherwise sounded very euro. It isn't aggressive, but sounds good for sure. Not a Honda by any means.

Nice! That's what I'm hoping for! I was alittle nervous but I guess I haven't heard too many negative comments bout doing the mod! I'll let you guys know what I think tomorrow sometime

Silly question; I was looking into this for a cheap/easy mod for some extra nice noise....will this mess with emissions at all?

It shouldn't, the muffler doesn't do anything for emissions - just controls noise.

If it gets too raspy, a resonator would help calm some of that down, as well.

Just remember that a certan amount of backpressure is a good thing.

If this is a 1.4t witch I think all the rs cars are right? you can go straight pipe back and still be ok on backprssure because the turbo will always make some. Plus if he still has his cat thats the most restrictive piece in the hole exhaust. Delete that muffler!

Mine has been straight piped just after the resonator (and have CAI), sounds just right !! DO IT...

 

[Rockhead]

Post a video after its done. I'm sure all of us would like to hear how it sounds.

^^What he said. Definitely would want to hear how it sounds.

I'm looking to do this myself once spring hits, so please include pics/vid and any extra info you can

I originally did the muffler delete on my Cruze and the sound is great.

Here is a link of what mine used to sound like:

Then I did a downpipe and midpipe and it sounds even better:
