Doing a muffler delete

[Vette_Z]

Will be taking out my muffler and straight piping it to the tailpipe.

Just wanted some feedback:

1) Should I expect any trouble from the Police? i know ripping out a cat converter is illegal, but I'm not sure about the muffler. Also as far as noise disturbance.

2) What are the dimensions of the pipe going in and out of the muffler?

3) Should I leave the stock resonator on or off?



UPDATE.


I just went ahead and did it. lol

Don't mind the smoke. That was just a much needed oil change that I got later that day.

Why do you want it so loud you can't hear the stereo?

I think it sounds good, might be a little load for me, but are there any performance gains ?

In theory, yes. but i honestly didn't notice that much. This was mainly acoustics for me.


Also, I can still hear the stereo, I added sound dampening on my doors so i can still have conversations inside.
