Muffler Delete - Exhaust Turndown Tips

CCCLXXZ · 06-24-2009, 02:16 AM

I followed a thread where a few enthusiasts removed the rear section of the exhaust merely for the sound difference. I tried it myself tonight and welded up a set of turndown tips that bolt up where the muffler was. I ordered a full exhaust system so I am offering these to anyone who would like them. Structurally solid and polished quickly, the only gripe is that I welded them fast and by no means are they artistic welds. I have them ground down pretty well and it is welded from the inside as well to create a seamless flange.

Sounds really great, no rasp and very deep and present idle. Sound tapers off nicely toward the upper rpm range... Beside the weight savings and sound I wouldn't make any claims for power difference, but a dyno may prove a slight improvement. Thick flange and mandrel bent 2.25" pipes.

I wouldn't recommend it a long term solution, but for those who are waiting to buy a exhaust it is rewarding to hear the beauty of the VQ.

$75 bucks shipped UPS ground.

i think that everyone would like to hear it without even considering it, just like with all the other exhausts

best would be to fab up some pipes with tips to the bumper....so it looks like a muffler even though it's just pipes like this \ /

I'll take a clip of it tonight, even for those who are just curious about the sound...

I think today I'll try and weld up a full muffler delete with tips out the back.

im kinda curious to hear it myself. How much did that muffler weigh by itself?
