Deleted the stock mufflers not too long ago. Got bored so I made a vid. Enjoy.

Nice! how loud is it in the cabin? delete all three or just the two rear?

He has an LSC so his car came with true dual exhaust, so it will be a little louder than deleting the mufflers on a Mark with single exhaust.

That thing f.ing roars it's moving the camera!

Just hacking off the mufflers on an LSC sounds pretty good. Unfortunately if you have catalytic converters that smell bad under hard accel you will get a lot of that in your car, and that means a lot of exhaust in your car. It will also create a lot of drone... Solution: clamp a set of turndowns on the pipes or install a pair of exhaust tips.

Its really not that loud to me, and doesnt even sound that droany. Ive had a few cars that just were either loud or just horrible sounding... lol so this is almost nothing. Actually when the car goes into fourth I cant even hear it anymore.

There is straight pipe in place of the mufflers that exit out of the stock tips...

Did the same thing to my 1996 Gen1. I cut off the two rear mufflers, left the stock resonator on and replaced the third cat with a "y" pipe. Some day maybe I can afford to go with a ture dual exhaust setup, but for now mine sounds fantastic. I get compliments on the sound everywhere I go and some people have even told me it sounds better than a Mustang GT. Some folks are speechless when I tell them it cost $50 bucks at a muffler shop to have the muffs cut off and new pipes welded in and a couple of hours in the back yard at home to remove the cat and weld in the "y" pipe. They think it sounds like a $500 Borla system or something. As for the drone, it's hardly noticeable under most driving conditions. I also kept the stock oval shaped stainless exhaust tips because I think they look cool. And I had to keep the resonator on so it would pass inspection.
