Muffler Delete sound in person
I recently (as of December) leased a 16 FR-S. I am loving the car the one thing I'd like to do is make it a bit louder, not wake everyone one up loud but a moderate sound increase would be nice.
Since I am leasing it I don't want to put too much money into a full exhaust system if I don't have to. I've read a few topics about some of the available muffler deletes and that might be an easy way to go. I have listened to some youtube videos but they do not really do justice and I cannot really gauge just how loud it would be. I was hoping someone in the SE PA (DELCO, Chester County) region might have a muffler delete. I am based out of Media, however I work in Exton and in West Chester and I could drive somewhere else to have a listen. The only other upgrades I plan are a nice set of lightweight wheels and a new shift knob ( the stock one is a bit crappy IMHO) Thanks! |

You could also unbolt the muffler and it would sound very similar to the muffler delete.

This is an honest question, but it's going to sound grumpy and pissy. Can you explain WHY you want to make it louder? It's something I've just never understood. It doesn't improve anything about the car's performance, disturbs many of the people around you who don't enjoy loud sounds as much as you do (and can actually cause severe pain to folks with certain aural impairments), and puts you at risk for vehicle violation citations (at least in my state). What is the UPSIDE?
It's sort of like screaming at everyone you talk to you just because you like to scream. Nobody else enjoys it, and it's kind of rude. Why is it OK to do the same thing with your car? If the car being really loud is a necessary BYPRODUCT of a mod that significantly increases performance, I get that. Still not wild about the loud part, but I still get it. When it's done just so you can be loud, well.. that baffles me. Help me understand? Thanks.. Barry |

I went with the Berk muffler delete track pipe. Cold starts are pretty loud, might wake up a neighbor, but once the car warms up and you get going it isn't too bad. |

I simply wanted to cut more weight out of the car because it's similar to adding more power hence, removing the spare tire and a muffler delete, the difference is noticeable on back roads. It leads to almost a 30 lb drop in weight over the rear. Also the sound is pretty damn good and in PA the berk muffler delete is under the legal RPM limit by a few decibels surprisingly. Also it's not like screaming as long as you don't go revving the damn thing out near every person you see (those with "aural impairments" as well)

Two 14 mm bolts, you might need a breaker bar just to get them off

I'll tell you personal experience via rpm range: Idle: With a quiet oft tune modded to keep the cold starts quiet and not do the stupid timing retard and aggressive maf to light the cats up it still is kind of loud at 1400 RPM cold start but once it reaches idle and is warmed @ 750 rpm it's not that bad I'd say around 60-70 decibels or lower. The loudest part is around 1000 rpm to 3000rpm it is quite loud in that rev range and at 2000 rpm it drones, after that it sounds fine and I've gotten quite a few compliments from it. Ironically and almost unusually it's not that loud as you rev the car out, it's kind of weird as you go through the rev range it's sort of quieter. I highly recommend you hear one in person it's hard to describe through even a video without high quality audio equipment

i've got the nameless performance muffled track pipe on my otherwise stock exhaust system, and it's great for me. it's not real loud but it adds a bit more sound, which is what i wanted. i'm sure cold starts are a bit higher in volume than what my neighbors would like, but once the car is warmed up it's not bad.

Cold starts are loud.
Idle is quiet. Cruising is not to loud (in my opinion) Will be loud if you want it to be! Overall great! and Cheap |

Thanks for all the great information and detailed descriptions.
I'm not the showy kind of person so I did not want to get something that would annoy the hell out of everyone but something where I could hear the car better and get more enjoyment out of the sound. I can live with a loud cold start, I don't work terribly early (out by 8 am) so I do not imagine it would be waking anyone up. I will be keeping the stock cat's on as I have no real reason to not have them on. |
