I have a 2020 Ford Ranger XLT and I've been turning over the thought of just taking it to an exhaust shop and have them eliminate the muffler entirely.
There'saenough stuff on it to keep it quiet.
It has a turbo,
it has a catalytic converter, it has a muffler,
it has a resonator
that's four things that stop up the exhaust. You can't even hear it running with the muffler on what do you think of this.
Has anyone else done this?

Droning exhaust gets old after 8-10 hours and maddening after 12.
But most people don't road trip like that?

I'm ok with people doing this with their vehicles as long as they aren't my neighbor. LOL

The police around here have been cracking down on any muffler mods lately though, because those NIMBY people have louder voices than your loud exhausts.

And they aren't just giving out fix-it tickets, they have been towing you to impound, so its a costly choice.

I enjoy the peace and quiet of having a muffler equipped vehicle.
I know right...
I pay for Youtube premium and I like my playlist more than sounding cool
Best freaking $15 a month ever....

I deleted my muffler and it DOESN'T sound like a lawnmower or bother the neighbors (or cops) at 2 AM. The best 250 pounds I ever got rid of. :like:

I don't want the exhaust louder but I do like turbo noises. I added a BOV and a tune, how much difference do charge pipes and/or a downpipe make?

250lbs?
I'm struggling to understand that.
The full Borla system shipped is mid 40's pounds

I will say after I added the CVF downpipe it tends to get a little raspy around 4k rpms
