Where'd you get the straight pipes and tips? I can get the work done for free, but have to supply the parts. Living in a city that's chock full of AMG and Porsche.. I'd love this growl.

How is this for any back pressure concerns? I’ve been eyeing this idea, but what issues or problems that might come from it?

Can’t see it being an issue on a na car. Cats probably dominate in terms of back pressure anyway.

I did the back box delete on my previous Zed and I still have the box. I’m tempted to do it again as I loved it so much :)

Would I run into problems having the ess vt s/c set up?

Has anyone near Warwick done a muffler delete? Would love to hear it in person - is of interest potentially although wonder if a DLV gutted backbox is better overall balance
