Default Took off my muffler...anyone else do this?

In previous posts, I had been asking about what exhaust systems others had been happy with, flaws, etc.

Well...I got tired of my IMCO and took it off on Saturday, right at the cat.

I was blown away by how much nicer/louder it sounded!!!

I'm happy with what I got now and I'm thinking of keeping it this way

Anyone else do this to theirs and like what they hear?

So you just have a hole on the back bumper with no exhaust? I bet that looks funky [&:]

Hi,

Are you getting any drone at all? I'm so sick of my magnapack I'm considering all the alternatives right now. I'm not ruling out what you did...

I wonder if it might be a fire hazard.

Post a sound clip!

I was getting drone even before the blower and gear....

I was actually thinking of going open headers and leaving the mufflers on.
That might be a bit much.....

I fired up my GT w/ the mufflers off. It sounds bad as*. If you're going to do that, at least put something back there so you can see the dual exhaust. It makes the mustang look like a mustang IMO. It would look naked w/ out it. Maybe put on the SLP loudmouths. I doubt it sounds much different than w/ no mufflers on at all. Remember, the loudmouths are just straight pipes anyways!
