After my mid muffler delete, I felt a slight increase in power, especially when accelerating. Totally worth it for the sound boost as well!
I’d say if you’re ready for a louder ride, go for it! It’s a fun mod and not too pricey. Just be prepared for the attention!
Exactly! Just remember to check your local laws regarding modifications since it could affect legality.
Legality can be a concern, but for many, the sound and performance make it worth it. Any tips on finding a good shop for the job?
I recommend checking local forums and reviews. I’ve found that shops with a good reputation often do better work. Ask around!

If your car was still under warranty, I’d be extremely cautious. Sometimes, even small modifications lead to big problems with claims down the line.
So true! Warranty issues can really ruin your day. I guess it’s a matter of weighing the fun of the mod against potential costs.
True, like maybe an axle-back exhaust instead! It gives an upgrade without completely altering the system.
