i just took the mufflers off for the hell of it, at night in the driveway, with the car on te ground and to see if i wanted my 06 loud, its loud not the best sound. anyone know if i can screw my car up doing this, thnking of leaving the off for a day or two. 236 miles and ive had the car 30 hrs a new fastest time for messing with the pipes.

I did. Had straight steel pipes put in place. It sounded pretty cool, kinda like an older mustang from the 5.0 days or even earlier. However after having it a while it sounded a little too loud and un refined or raw should I say, for a modern car even though its a muscle car. I took it back to the exhaust shop and had small straight through glasspack mufflers put in. This cleared up the sound incredably but still kept it loud. I love the sound and i would recommend it to anyone who wants a meaner exhaust sound but doesn't want something that is just ridiculously loud or raw sounding.

I agree, I have no mufflers and while it is loud, it is a bit raspy and unrefined. I am going to put in LT headers, an X or H pipe and some Borlas and I think it will be almost as loud as it is now but much deeper and more refined, I think.
