Default Center Muffler
Got a crack in my center muffler. Anyone have one laying around they wanna sell?

I have side muffler bypasses on. What’s the consensus with sound? Center delete vs side muffler delete? I have the side mufflers in my garage with an RSS bypass I was thinking of selling. Maybe I should just put that on.

May want to reach out to Switchcars. Old thread but I’m sure he still has some laying around.

I have side mufflers on and Sharkwerks center bypass. Perfect sound for me.

Sound is better with a center delete and side mufflers, but you have the extra weight and heat buildup behind the wheels.

I suggest you try to side delete and center delete. The sound is awesome.

Side deletes and center bypass makes it considerably louder than just the bypass. Probably the best all around setup is just the bypass. I just prefer my cars on the louder side.

Complete bypass does sound good! I think it’s too loud for me though. I might try since I have the center bypass.

It's def on the loud side, but unless you're taking calls for work or daily driving the car, it's really not as bad as you might think.
