sounds too farty and unclean is what everyone says. atleast get some LM2's or race bullets or something. they don't really muffle anything they just help clean up the sound instead of strait piping it.

Yeah, don't do this lol. More than likely it'll sound like crap.

I have a buddy with a 2006 gt, with a catted h, and muffler deletes, and it sound terrible imo.

well i tried it just cause i had nothin better to do. it doesnt sound bad. lust louder and deeper. my buddy said it doesnt sound too different from outside when i passed him just slightly louder and much deeper. inside it is a huge difference, but it's also dumped after the H-pipe and is right under the cab.

i'll prob. run it like this a little while i replace all the rusted bolts. and stuff underneath

Which you running around with??? H or X??? Id say that the x would probably be raspy as hell and the h i dont think would sound too terrible. lol so i dont see a problem with it. might try this myself someday soon with the catted x.
