For the guys with muffler delete..
I was thinking about deleting my mufflers. I have 2nd cats and res delete currently and I sold my my meistershaft mufflers. Now I want the car louder again. How bad is the drone from a scale 1-10 10 being the worst for you guys.
Any power gains or power loss? I know they are heavy as hell so it should be a good 70lb weight savings mod.
I'll be running a few cars this weekend, fbo 335 with meth, e60 m5 stick fully Catless. I' currently have a euro charged tune and my car runs healthy. I was hoping some noise and some small gains will come out of the muffler delete

I'd like to know as well. Thinking of deleting the mufflers on my SL and having them replaced with resonators at the least.

thanks again for the meistershaft !!! so when i installed em i cut off the oem mufflers and it sounded sick. but at the time i had primary and all secondaries.
i think its might be too loud for your case.

I drove without mufflers for a bit, droning was horrible and it didn't sound good at all. Didn't notice any power loss or gain when I got on it. Rest of the system was totally stock

Thanks for the input from the rest of you guys. I might go ahead and do this and if I don't like it I'll just weld them back together.

I always beat them but FBO with meth is side by side with me and I begin to walk them up top. With the tune I'm faster now. No meth or race gas and they have 0 chance at all speeds.

If you have stock manifolds it won't sound bad. If you have headers it's gonna bother everybody.

I'm dealing with drone myself now and decided today that I need to either put the stock resonator back in or some lightweight aftermarket resonators. The car sounded killer with the stock manifolds into stock primaries into magnaflow x-pipe into Eisenmann sport mufflers, but after I installed the Evosport headers last weekend, it got louder and it's drone city now. I have stock resonator and secondaries out.
Does anyone make some lightweight resonators I can have welded onto each pipe behind the x-pipe to get rid of the drone. The stock resonator is huge and very heavy.

Kind of like cut-outs? The removal of the 2nds is a blip on my new build but I'm just thinking how much louder can it possibly be with the 2nds removed? I patiently wait to hear your beast bro.
