muffler delete
Has anyone done the muffler delete ? I have the mufflers unbolted at the flange so straight pipes to that point . Dam it sounds good , but that is in the garage . Will it get obnoxious driving it around town or at highway speeds . Had Billy Boat PRT's but the drone finally got to me and went back to stock . In the process of doing the H pipe mod to get rid of the motor boat and rattle can noise of the stock exhaust .

The set of PRTs on my car are well over 20 years old and the amount of drone is minimal. To the point now I don’t notice it. I get plenty of compliments on how it sounds. If you are familiar with the PRTs they practically bypass the mufflers

I don't recommend the delete. I ran SLP Loud Mouths back in the day for a brief time and that is exactly what they were - simply a delete with pipes to the rear. It sounded pretty great at WOT. But at wot only. Idle was horrible with oem manifolds and H-pipe. Exactly like the motorboat noise you mention. An X-pipe was needed. I ditched them back to a different set of Borlas on that car happily.
@Beast this sounds epic to me! I have ran shorties / x / Borla S on one car for many years and loved it, thinking of it as "how a C5 should sound." The drone as a daily got to me only once I drove a friend's car with LG pipes / X / Titaniums and I swapped to the Titaniums. The next car will be turbos to 3" / X / LG Big 3 muffler set. I'll see how that sounds when done.

Drone is the one thing I want to avoid . The PRT's drone was excessive , got to where I did not enjoy driving any distance at highway speeds . Went back to stock and did the muffler bypass .I am now doing the h-pipe mod .
