    Well I finally did a muffler delete. Gotta admit i thought it would be louder then it is, which is good. My question is it sounds like its missing to me but my torque app has never showed any miss. Is it how these cars sound or am i missing a cylinder?

    A misfire when??

    They will randomly misfire at idle all the time, some notice it some don't. On a modded car you can sense it alot more.

    Otherwise while driving it they do sound like crap either way without mufflers.

    I bet it sounds really goofy when it kick down into V4 mode on the freeway, maybe a little drone there.

    But because it's not like a truck V8 it won't sound the same. Just the way the exhaust runs makes it odd.

    Post a video?

    I had a muffler and resonator delete with a 3" catted downpipe.

    It was loud. Not sure where the "misfire" stuff is coming from. This kinda talk is always a shot in the dark without something concrete like vids or seeing the car in person.

    What your probably hearing is dod which happens after 2nd gear. Also the rest of the exhaust is pretty restrictive as well. Get rid of that awful downpipe.
