C5 3.0L quattro muffler delete
just recently did a muffler delete to see how it sounds because it seems that no one gives the 3.0 any love! it sounds great and was only cost me $75 and about 4 hours of work. the design I came up with is a clamp on so the stock mufflers can be put back on in 10 minutes. if anyone else is contemplating this DIY project, I highly recommend it. I bought some pipes at the local auto store, used a flux feed welder to put it all together, and welded on some bent 1/2 rebar to use the stock rubber mounts. looks stock, and sounds great!

Also, depending on where you live, the requirement(s) for emissions, safety inspections, etc., the lack of muffler(s) is a #fail. It's one thing to put in glass pack mufflers or other aftermarkets but generally a muffler delete is also a moving violation/ticket depending on the LEO's attitude (and yours!).

This post is useless without audio.

I'm working on that audio file, I'm new to this so its a learning process. I live in Ohio and I've only been confronted by a police officer once. I politely made the point that my car is not nearly as loud as a Harley and he let me go without even a warning. I also ran an OBD scan and the only code I got was the front passenger O2 sensor (sensor was bad long before the exhaust project)

So the Ohio cop bought the argument that others are worse than you?

I can't even play the race card, but in DC/MD/NOVA they don't buy that line even for white guys.
