It's the most requested job we get and the one we talk people out of most often. Not because we don't do it — we do it every week — but because on the wrong car it's the fastest way to end up hating how your car sounds.

Muffler delete. The muffler comes out and pipe goes in its place. Loudest change you can make in one cut. All the tone your engine makes, none of it softened.
Resonator delete. The resonator comes out instead. Smaller change in volume, bigger change in character — sharper, rawer, more rasp on the top end.
Straight pipe. Everything goes. No muffler, no resonator, pipe from the cats back. This is a race car answer, not a street answer.
Engines that already make a good noise on their own. V8s, flat-sixes, high-revving naturally aspirated engines. Take the muffler off a Mustang GT or a 911 and what's left underneath is the whole point.
Where it goes wrong is turbo four-cylinders and V6s. The turbo already eats most of the sound before it reaches the muffler, so deleting it mostly adds volume without adding tone. You get loud and hollow instead of loud and mean.
Text us the car before you commit. We'll send you a clip of the same engine done the same way so you hear it first — 954 708 6039.
Drone. That low hum at highway speed that vibrates through the seat and the mirrors. Deleting the muffler takes out the exact part that was cancelling it.
It shows up around 1,800 to 2,500 RPM, which on most cars is exactly where you sit on I-95. People live with it for a month and then call us to put something back in.
If you daily the car, say so before we cut. There are ways to get most of the volume and keep the drive livable — a straight-through muffler instead of a full delete, or a valve so you choose.
Florida requires street vehicles to have a muffler in working order and prohibits excessive or unusual exhaust noise. A full muffler delete or straight pipe on a car you drive on the street is outside that. We will tell you where your plan lands before anything gets cut, instead of finding out for you afterward.
For a track car or a build that gets trailered, that's a different conversation and we do it all the time.
For a street car that wants to be loud, a straight-through muffler or a valved setup gets you most of the way there and keeps you out of it.
Common call. Somebody cut the muffler out at home or at a quick shop, and now the car drones, rasps or sounds cheap.
That's fixable and it usually doesn't mean starting over. Welding in a resonator at the right spot, or a straight-through muffler, gets the tone back without giving up the volume you wanted.
Bring it by and we'll put it on the lift. Davie 954 708 6039, Wilton Manors 954 558 9110.
Florida law requires street vehicles to have a muffler in good working order and prohibits excessive or unusual exhaust noise, so a full delete or straight pipe on a street car sits outside that. We build them for track and off-road use. For a street car that wants to be loud, ask about a straight-through muffler or a valved setup instead.
Often, yes. The muffler is part of what cancels the frequency that drones, and removing it usually brings drone in around 1,800 to 2,500 RPM, right where most people cruise. It is the single most common regret. Tell us you daily the car and we will build around it.
Very little on most cars, and not enough to be the reason you do it. A muffler delete is a sound change. If you are chasing power on a turbo car, a downpipe is the part that actually moves the number.
It depends on the engine. A muffler delete is a much bigger jump in volume. A resonator delete is a smaller volume change that makes the tone sharper and raspier. On many cars the resonator delete is the better-sounding of the two, which surprises people.
Yes, and we do it regularly. Welding in a straight-through muffler or a resonator at the right spot brings the tone back without losing the volume you were after. Put the car on the lift and we will show you the options.
Tell us the car and how you drive it, and you'll get a straight answer — including if the answer is don't. Just Call G. 954 708 6039.
