    I know, but what do you say to someone who asks if its a good idea to cut a perfectly good muffler off?

    Its not as if its hiding a secret lamborghini V12 note or something...

    I would ask them what they want out of the exhaust. Personally I've never heard a vectra with anything done to the exhaust.
    I just know that with my brothers car (1.8 lancer, yes I know, not the same but it's a 4 pot none the less) he had a 'sports' muffler
    thrown on the back and it sounded terrible, then I recommended a straight bit of pipe instead and it sounds much better now.

    Too many to list......
    Anything with less than 8 cylinders should be quiet. With the exception of the odd V6 with a VERY slight exhaust note that sounds OK
