I have an H-Pipe and no mufflers, I don't find it loud all the time. If I'm cruising, it's very livable, can have hassle free conversations. If I move quickly through the RPMs, yes it's very loud and aggrsssive. At WOT, it's race car loud.
I'd have to leave the resonator/muffler on anyway, I'd have it cut from the top and replace the pipe inside and close it again because switzerland doesn't allow any exhaust modifications unless it's a tested exhaust system approved by switzerland (there's only 1 which is barely louder than stock).
I would love to but if the lovely police sees anything that could have to do with electronic cut outs you'll have to remove them plus you get fined and you get a meeting with the street law boys to check if you really did go back to stock, so I need to stealth delete the resonator or mufflers.
Yes that's true I was also able to have normal conversations the car is isolated very well but 30+ minutes on the highway resulted in every person in the car having headaches I guess that's just personal preference, for me it was too loud but then again there's people running full straight pipes.
Weight savings is only about 7-8 pounds. Stock resonator weighs 15 pounds and FRPP x-pipe weighs about 7.5 pounds. But you're right, trimming fat helps.
