    So this is my first japanese vehicle, and although I like it one thing the asian automakers tend to lack relative to the european and americans is that visceral driving experience. A lot of this is in the sound of a vehicle. Our trucks sound like a weedwacker. Found this on youtube today, I'm not sure how it will sound in the interior with our piss poor soundproofing. Anyone tried this?

    All the cats sound brutal. MBRP, Flowmaster, Magnaflow - what is your concern with the muffler delete? Genuine question.

    It'll sound like a raspy, worn out piece of shit instead of anything that you think it'll sound like.

    Take off a 15lb muffler for more annoying ricer sounds and you'll gain the added benefit of more Taco lean too!

    The cacophony of a thousand beehives combined with the indignant roar of a violated bear? Imagine living in a quiet hamlet, children playing in their yards, an elderly couple walking hand-in-hand down the sidewalk, birds merrily chirping....and then a truck, sounding like a bear raped by beehives, screaming around the corner. I call that Wonderful!
