SLP Loudmouths. Just a muffler delete no loss of power.

Some people claim that you lose back pressure down low hp. I made the switch and feel nothing whatsoever. Still beat the same cars i used to race by the same distance. Slp's new are like 300$, but you can find a good used pair on the classifieds for about 170.

LM, boomtubes, pype bomb, MBRP are all muffler deletes
the boomtubes and pype bombs add a resonator of sorts to smooth it out
but if you just take off the muffer without adding a pipe it wont sound that good

I've heard both sides; loss of power and no change. Certainly you will NOT get any performance gain. The stock system flows very well. There are many axle backs available that will certainly improve the sound.
