Muffler Delete

[SkitterSkotter]

So it looks like the muffler delete saves roughly 25 pounds and nets about 3 rear wheel hp. For those of you that do have the muffler delete (berk or nameless) can you please post up some pictures of how it looks and please provide your impressions. I'm completely obsessed with the part and I want to get it more than anything!! Any reviews would be helpful; thanks so much!

i have a custom one off Berk track pipe on my car and love the heck out of it. the sound is awesome the price is awesome and the fitment of it is perfect!

Damn that looks awesome! I'm so jealous! Did you notice any power gains or does it seems the same? Has your mileage gone down at all with it?

Thanks for posting the pictures, it's much appreciated.

I was thinking about one of them 2, so cheap for such a good sound. But I worry about back pressure , did you know that not enough back pressure can ruin your piston rings. We need reviews. Ill be a guinea pig send me your track pipe and I will review it for you.


You should have posted this in the technical topics exhaust section.

here's the deal with this car. ALL of the back pressure of this car made in the headers and the cat's there are two them in these cars as well as another resonator in the middle of the system so back pressure is not an issue with ANY cat back on the market currently. I have noticed NO loss in MPG.....except for the fact that i tend to wait to shift now so i can hear the amazingness of the boxer engine. and it seems that it may have a bit more get up to it. (probably weight).......here is the shitty video i made of the exhaust the day it went on.

I've had my Nameless muffler delete on the car for several weeks now. I've done a fair bit of street driving with it, as well as an autocross. Pretty quiet at idle, and not terribly loud at WOT or while cruising either. The cats and resonator take much of the noise out of the system. I didn't notice any seat of the pants gains in power, but I wasn't expecting any, I mainly did it for the weight reduction.

Very happy with removing two bolts and getting sound

Awesome videos man. I think Ill make this my first mod. How loud is it on cold start? Do you think it would bother my neighbors, mind you I live on a quiet city block.

yeeeaaah....i did that for about a week while i waited for mine and started seeing black carbon everywhere and a plastic clip was melted so i DO NOT advise anyone to just remove the muffler bolts or remove the muffler unless you are replacing it with either the track pipe or another exhaust setup.

its not horrible at cold start. i leave at 6:40 in the morning and no one has complained to me yet and i know all my neighbors. I mean yes it is louder when it is cold but after about 45 seconds its almost silent after the idle smoothens out.

Leave the muffler on just pull it way about an inch... Working on welding one from my tc muffler, I'm a little rusty

I find it to be the loudest at cold start ie hi idle but it lasts for a min max. It has a great sound. I cant say i feel any extra power. Its great there is no highway drowning noise and unless you are no the gas its quite and no raspy sounds, and dont grab the cops attention. Btw home made pipe...

thanks for all the helpful information, it's much appreciated. This confirms it, I will get this test pipe an a drop in air filter. Now if I could just get some new wheels my car would lose roughly 45lbs...get rid of the spare tire on track days and that's about 65 pounds too.
