Another e430 exhaust question
I was thinking about removing the muffler from the rear. I would be leaving the silencer, second cats in tact. Has anyone done this? Is it way to loud?

Better to
remove the secondary cats and install an H-pipe to balance out the exhaust pulses. Sounds nice at idle,sounds healthy at speed.

H-pipe
balances flow better,sounds better and yields more torque on a street car,
also much easier and less money to fab than an X pipe crossover.
