Hey guys and gals, sorry for the emergency call but my vehicle is going into the muffler shop in 2 hours. Im changing my quad tips again! I found some nice oval tips that i like but here comes my next question. We all know that going to a quad setup (on the 545) loses power.
So my current setup is the pancake resonator delete and my magnaflow muffler placed there, and from the 2 out i have each pipe going to each side of the car. Now the question is, Should i just delete the muffler? I know it will be louder and probably drone, but i really dont mind that. And worst case scenario i can always put it back in. What do you guys think? Delete the magnaflow and just have pipes?
PLEASE CHIME IN ANYONE! OH AND ALSO, i was talking to Eloy from RPI and I believe if i can remember our conversation correctly, he was telling me to go with smaller pipes, i think he said 2.25.
Thanks and any words would be awesome

OP, if at all possible can you post pics and feedback of your setup when you have a chance? I'm interested in doing the same thing but keeping the resonators on. I use my bluetooth fairly often. Thanks for the tip on 2" pipes! GL

Interesting i didnt feel like mine was too loud at all! My own mother would tell me she likes my car because she can speak in a normal tone (she comes from a honda) But im sure after i delete my muffler she'll have something to say!
