I have removed the rear muffler and replaced with an "X" pipe. The sound is pretty darn good. I wouldn't say it is as good as some of the aftermarket catbacks, but hey for the price it can't be beat!

Don't think there's any real performance increase except for getting rid of that heavy thing.

Wakes the sound up nice, but can make the interior drone worse, esp on a GTS. X pipe or crossover like the random tech unit helps, though

The muffler delete/ x-pipe I did by itself changed the overall sound minimally at best. I then swaped out the the stock cats to RT high flow cats and that made a vast improvement. Sounds pretty good but it is still not loud enough for me so I am considering replacing the resonators with dynotech race bullets. Thoughts anyone? I got a sound clip from Gary and his sounded pretty good. Hard to tell though through a recording vs. in person????

I disagree with Rich. I think it changes the sound tremendously. Only a bit louder but a much better sound.

Word is a 8 to 10 hp increase. My 98 dyno'd 427 with only tubes, filters and **** delete.

huge improvement in sound tone, a touch louder like Chucko says, but overall much better. I do not find the drone at all in my GTS.

I picked up 15 horse with rear delete and Roe 3 inch Ovals.

Sounds more like a sports car should, should have came factory without the thing IMO.
