SL 65 Black sound on SL65

Any idea how we can reach a similar sound to the Black Series 65 on the std 65?
Suggestions:
Take the rear mufflers out?
Take the the center resonators off?

Cut off Mufflers, run 3" straight pipe to tips, sounds nearly identical... SL65/600 don't have resonators only Primary cats & mufflers.

How many PSI of boost did you lose after removing the muffler? I've heard around a 2psi loss.

Wrong again

stick to the SL63 krap, your posts are detrimental to newbies & the uninformed...

Boost actually goes down after muffler removal, measured on Dyno lost about 1.5 PSI

Good call contigo...I responded to your question in my build thread (I think)... glad you made the plunge. Agree 110% this is how they should have come from the factory.
