Thanks,

3. It sounds clean, the sound is linear, doesn't sound like 2 different pitches, doesn't change when valves open, but enhances and is louder and has a purr to it,

The Fabspeed guys were great! I am very happy with the product, and will probably put the headers and some kind of rear muffler in the future.

I will try and make a video, I have no skills in this department and the only thing i have is an iPhone to record it, so will update soon

So you can do side delete and retain factory center muffler? It won't "hurt" the center muffler to delete the two side mufflers?

Cost wise at least based on what Fabspeed's valved side delete costs, it seems to be similar to some popular center delete options?

Any negatives/consequences for going with side delete? Engine issues, CEL, smog, emissions, toxic gasses?? (lol)

Is Fabspeed the only company that does the side muffler delete?

I liked the description that Dougr mentioned above with the side delete vs the center delete if his sound observations generally ring true

I wish people would believe me and try the IPE catback system. You get rid of side mufflers, save weight, less heat and it the rear portion has valves. Great build quality, great sound and no drone. The valves are even heat shielded. The only other route I would go is race headers. For everything else, it makes zero sense not to do IPE.
