Default Center and side muffler delete

Currently have center delete. Wanting to delete the sides as well but I understand there is a lot of drone going that direction. Would a system like this one significantly reduce the drone? any one using something like the agency power or VR system?

Been playing around with different exhaust setups
valved side delete with center muffler delete will drone or be boomy in the lower rpm range
On highway is fine, no drone
I'm running soul valved side delete and rss x pipe center
To fully eliminate the drone with side muffler deleteYou'll need to go with valved setup and probably dundon lifetime muffler to keep noise up and drone down.

With most center muffler delete - you could get away with the drone / boomy noise by playing around the rpm range.
I find if I stay under 2.2k or above 2.6k - there is no drone or boominess

Soul valved side delete, and OEM center ... perfect combo, should pass most (but not all) track sound and won't **** off your neighbors at 6am when you head out to the track either!

Their side muffler delete is something I've been wanting to do as well. I want to keep the OEM Ti center.

Votes for Soul as the best one?
I see Suncoast even sells their setup.

That's not a hard job to change at home even.

My car came with Soul

Dundon would be best quality

However, side muffler delete with oem center (based on my research on rennlist) can fast track the the center muffler cracking, especially under hard driving

not clear to me that there is much to differentiate between the brands, akra, Soul, FVD etc...

waiting for Soul to bring out their center section...

What are you wanting to achieve by deleting the sides? Weight savings, louder?

Louder, yes, absolutely.

Weight saving, bonus, but not super worried there. It's a big chunk though.

I’m running the Soul Competition side and center deletes. Sounds extremely good and loud. But does drone for sure.

I was asking the OP, an open ended leading question. Curious as to his goal.

A short clip from distance.


My experience in eliminating the drone is to decouple the center deleted muffler from the center bracket. There is an older thread on here that addressed the issue and I believe GMG had made a special mounting bracket.

This is what I am using to mount my center section. There is about an 1/8th of an inch clearance from the center mounting bracket. I have no drone.

Exhaust is nice and tight.

The finish on Soul products is not the best, I would describe their product line as functional and economical. Best quality would be JCR or Dundon.
