    cons: worse everywhere else, and what everyone else has already said.

    i unbolted my muffler on my old 07 v6. after about a week it got annoying and before i could bolt it back up got busted by the campus police that said if it wasn't fixed the next time he saw it he was writing me up. (little did he know i was planning on doing it that night anyways)

    I want to put on a tim the tool man exhaust and weld it in series with a arnold schwarzenegger exhaust and see what kind of mad power I make from it. Maybe I'll pick up some initial acceleration from it. What do you guys think?!


    This video was the best ever! I just died from straight laughter :D:D:D

    I'd have to beat the chickens off with a stick!

    That 5 chamber design is awesome!

    Too few to list.
    I actually had a temporary straight pipe when I took off the muffler off my '09. Very loud and annoying sounding especially on the highway. Instant pull over for sure if you are next to a cop. I didn't notice any loss or gain in power as I didn't want to step on the gas when I didn't have to as I was trying to save my eardrums.

    As everybody else said, there's no "pro" to doing this.

    Why would you? We got the Arnold Exhaust as a solution to the OP's dilemma! It creates a perfect equilibrium of hot exhaust gasses in the 5 chamber design as it exits to create that signature Arnold sound that many others already experience daily on their beloved ride.

    If he doesn't like that one he can always go the Tim Taylor exhaust which produces similar results.

    The Tim Taylor is clearly a more expensive exhaust. And better sound and performance! Pricey but well worth it!
