Cat delete - how loud is it really?

[sms2022]

Not really worried about smell as I’m on E85 and it stinks up my garage already but how much louder will it get with a cat delete? I really like the sound right now but would like the extra 10-15hp from the cat delete

It’s gonna get much louder without the cats, even if you retain the factory headers. Try removing the axle back exhaust and keep your x-pipe installed and start/rev the car. This will be very similar to the increase in sound without the cats.

I really like the sound right now

Sound of what ?
You didn’t mention the type of full system currently on the car.

Yikes. Okay maybe I’m out on that.

It’s in my sig. active exhaust with x-pipe and 12” vibrant resonators

Think of Sci-Fi Week when Godzuki and GodZella spoke. Your current setup is like Godzuki and without cats it would be like Godzilla, lol.

Do it.
You can always install the Jones, Borla or Ford Performance Mid later.

Too Loud. Official term.

But I will surely like the sound of your car!

Your neighbors down the street may need earplugs.....

Ok I’m out on this idea. My exhaust is loud enough as it is in track mode

"just because you can doesn't mean you should"

I have not heard a catless system that doesn't make me cringe yet. I don't mean that to be snarky (I currently call my catted set up cringe)

Catless typically sounds obnoxious, not good. And not worth

I applaud your choice

Most of us experiment with exhaust configurations until it's too loud, and then go back one step.

It ain't that loud w/ meow delete.

This is why I invested in a welder....welding skills not so much.

I have ARH full exhaust, catless but they have mufflers. I've heard my car being driven away down the street and it "sounds loud" while also "not being loud". It's hard for me to explain lol, it's like the sound of a loud car but you dialed the volume down a bit.

But when you're actually in the car, windows down giving it some throttle? Yeah it's loud. Windows up? Pretty quiet!

I know that doesn't quite make sense and is also just my own opinion but I tried lol.
