Default Question

So I did a muffler delete. Sounds amazing, Only problem is that at lower rpms it feels like its bogging. It didn't do that before the delete. I used the stock tips. Idk if that could be a problem or not. I did see some one talking about plugging a hose but haven't been able to find that thread. The choking or the bogging is really felt between 3k-3.5k rpm. Thanks for any help in advance!

by removing the cats, and I'm assuming you added straight pipes in place, you've changed the way the exhaust flow. You have to try to mimic the stock exhaust flow or others might call it back pressure.

You can replace the straight pipe with a more narrow pipe to try to reproduce some of the exhaust restriction.
