VS 2.5" exhaust with no mufflers?

[JSTCOZ]

Hey all,

I got a 2.5" system on my car a month ago and want something louder all round and sounds different. I was going to remove my resonator even thought i read people saying 'no it drones', 'you'll gte pulled over' blah blah blah etc.

I looked under my car the other day and realised my car doesn't even have a resi on it HAHA. So basically I am thinking of removing the centre muffler to make the car louder and grunty sounding and place a straight pipe there instead.

I could put a smaller muffler in but that will cost $100 and a straight pipe will cost me $40.

My question about the straight pipe all the way through the car is, will i lose power or will fuel consumption suffer? Also has anyone done this to their car and had any probs with cops or anythign like that, as always a video of the car would be great!

Since I have a mate doing this for me, if i dont like the sound i can just throw the centre muffler back on, I just want to hear more about a complete straight through system effects.

Cheers

Matt

PS: Vid of my car being given the boot is at this link >> YouTube - Commodore VS take off exhaust

This is another link I found of a new commodore with no mufflers >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6xfdLNfxlE << I don't mind the sound.

V6 with no mufflers and no turbo = super fail.

Yeah..No mufflers sounds like arse.

There was a VS driving around my local town with no exhaust piping at all for a while lol, just running straight from the extractors. They were absolute dero's. It was the loudest, most disgusting sound I have ever heard.

Removing that muffler will indeed make the car louder, but only through making the sound a higher pitch. You need a good balance of volume and note man.

Personally I havent had trouble with the cops with my loud cars. You just need to be extremely careful where you put your foot down.

Loud, crap, did I mention crap?

Smaller muffler less noise absorbtion and still legal.

There was a VR or VS V6 ute that used to drive past my place at least once a day, running extractors, high flow CAT, and no mufflers..
Sounded like shite!
Seriously, open pipe V6's just sound crap.. but just my opinion..
If you want more 'note' then maybe go for a set of extractors?
But leave at least 1 muffler on.. you'l wish you had eventually.. lol

Yep, it's a N/A V6. Don't try to make it sound like something it isn't.

Sounds almost Identical to my VS until I put the Extractors on, if you want a better sound invest in a set.
