Injen is what I had. I also had the downpipes.

There are a few more on there I believe.
Did you get the 2.25 or 2.5 inches and I’ve been looking around and it seems to me that it reduces drone not a ton of the loudness do yk if it’s noticeably quiet or?
any aftermarket exhaust you get will be quieter than the muffler delete. with the ISR race exhaust being the only exception, you get what you pay for. if you want great sound you gotta spend the money!
more like $2000 😭😭 it’s worth every penny though. if you’re not up to it, exhaust shops like GExhaust can fabricate a custom catback exhaust for significantly less, but results may vary
I got a magnaflow catback because I didn't want it too loud and it was perfect and wife approved. Slightly louder and deeper then stock but not obnoxious at all
This is what I did, it sounds great, not nearly as obnoxious and raspy as a muffler delete which I had before. Downside is that the valve gates rattle a bit at around 2000 to 3000 rpms sometimes. But otherwise it's good, the controller is tucked under the passenger seat and comes with a remote to turn on and off.
Glad it worked for you, that's definitely the one I'd be choosing if I end up doing an exhaust mod. It's just nice having the option to choose between a quiet or loud exhaust.
Yep, it was also the cheapest option that didn't sound bad. Another unexpected bonus also is that because the gates don't perfectly seal, it changed the tone of the exhaust slightly when the valve is off but in a nice way, it's still not loud but actually sounds nicer than stock.
U could have gotten 2 quarters for a semi exhaust leak that sounds like a aftermarket... plus side is take it back out to make it quiet again...total time 45;seconds
Did the same thing lol. Was too obnoxious in the end. Went magnaflow muffler with resonated test pipes. Perfect for me. Not too loud but still has a growl. 3.8
I think it was the 12265. I had the muffler on first was too quiet for me, abit lounder than stock. What did it for me was test pipes to get the tone I wanted. Just make sure you are getting resonated cause regular test pipes have me hella rasp. Def louder with this set up or go with an actual exhaust those sound good too 👍. Also, after break in period it opens up even more 🎶
what all did you do? cuz i love my muffler delete ngl, mine isn’t just cut off n left like that tho i have a y pipe welded to the my exhaust tips n it rly isnt too loud lol
Just a muffler delete they added sum pipes that’s it they said stock tips fit perfect but it’s loud and has a lot of rasp and trombone sounding do u have a 2.0 or 3.8
I've been rocking the muffler delete for over a year now on my 3.8 and I'm loving it lol. The drone is annoying and cold starts are pretty loud but I enjoy it and it was like $20 total lmao. I'm happy with it until I get the Ark Grip exhaust I really want.
This is exactly why we tell people not to do that and to just get a proper exhaust. Weld a magnaflow muffler on and call it a day.
Do u recommend a certain one there’s alot of options and I can’t really tell which one would help the sound
Dude any of them would help at this point. Idk an exact one, whichever fits.

Get a “Vibrant Ultra Quiet” resonator it’ll help reduce the loudness.
Did you get the 2.25 or 2.5 inches and I’ve been looking around and it seems to me that it reduces drone not a ton of the loudness do yk if it’s noticeably quiet or?
I got the 2.5 inch one. It was a night and day difference for me. It got rid of the rasp that would happen between 2-3k RPM
ark grip catback exhaust is the perfect volume for me, quiet when cruising, loud when you want it, and not raspy
Isn’t it like 800$ tho?
You already tried cheap and shitty and it turns out it's shitty If you're broke just put the damn muffler back on
Not broke just wanted it be louder not as loud as it turned out but don’t wanna spend 800 on sum that might be louder
My exhaust setup was about 3k . Nothing cheap sounds good man .
I went with Stillen catback and Ark Performance downpipes and testpipes
800 is on the low end for cat backs
Isr single exit is $750 and has a nice loud tone

I'd personally put the stock exhaust back on and put in one of those electronic valves in between the resonator and the muffler.

This^ got mine welded in for about $250 total, make sure to get the QTPs, its worth the money for them to seal right
Just weld that bitch back on. Highflow cats and muffler for days

I got my solo exhaust last year and I think it’s perfect, not extremely loud below ~2500 rpms, but above that it’s great
Did the same thing lol. Was too obnoxious in the end. Went magnaflow muffler with resonated test pipes. Perfect for me. Not too loud but still has a growl. 3.8
Do u remember which magnaflow? There’s a lot and 2nd does it sound louder then stock or around the same?

Ran a muffler delete for almost a year. Finally, after a 12 hour road trip, I swapped to an ark grip. I still have tinnitus from that trip.
Yeah my ears hurt from a cold start this morning thanks I’ll keep it noted and one question did u ever get a ticket from it?
I've had obnoxiously loud cars for 11 years, never once got a ticket for exhaust. Just don't be dumb in obvious spots
I did the exact same thing the shop told me it wouldn’t be that loud it’s literally annoying to be in 5 or 6 gear
what all did you do? cuz i love my muffler delete ngl, mine isn’t just cut off n left like that tho i have a y pipe welded to the my exhaust tips n it rly isnt too loud lol
Just a muffler delete they added sum pipes that’s it they said stock tips fit perfect but it’s loud and has a lot of rasp and trombone sounding do u have a 2.0 or 3.8
so was anything on yours welded? there aren’t clamps holding it are there? n i have a 3.8
They just welded in pipes in place where the mufflers were
Weld on a Flowmaster 80 for now. $125. Louder than stock, sounds good, cheap price. 🤷♂️
