Default Muffler delete???

Has anyone done or heard a muffler delete on an l99? I'm thinking about trying it this week...my car is too quiet and I don't have the money for the exhaust I want yet

I have the gm off-road exhaust, which basically puts resonators in place of the mufflers, and it sounds good. Added a bit more tone over stock but isn't overbearingly loud.
Pull the mufflers off and see how it sounds, if it's too loud put resonators in place of the mufflers.

Not too far from you -

A lot of guys in the Grand Prix forums that I was a part of got work done at Fair Muffler in La Grange, they do good work. They also put a test pipe in my buddy's 95 Z28

Fair Muffler Shops
1 E Plainfield Road
La Grange, IL 60525-2956
Phone: (708) 354-2011

otherwise Garrett can do it, I'm sure, he's just quite a bit north of you

Just step on the gas when the AFM kicks in and everyone wins!

I don't understand why some people have gone so crazy about the AFM sound. I agree it doesn't sound pretty, but its not like its kicking in 90% of the time. Don't put the car on cruise at 40mph and you'll almost never hear it.

Last week I heard a 4th gen Firebird with no exhaust and bolt ons and it was so loud that you had to yell to talk over it. It sounded beautiful, but I'm afraid I'd go deaf w/o mufflers!
