Muffler Delete (video)

[HAUDI-DO]

Just sharing for anyone interested. I know when I was exploring this, there were only a few decent videos out there. This is my 2014 SQ5 3.0. My setup was simple - delete the final rear mufflers and valves, replace with pipe and new quad tips. Total was under $500 (Bay Area premium unfortunately).

I went 034 Stage I ECU and TCU, added their intake tube, modded airbox, and added aFe filter. Then deleted the mufflers, and this is the end result.

Awesome! The cold start up sounds so good!

I'm really surprised I haven't seen you around, granted I hardly venture into San Mateo.
$500 for a muffler delete is still quite a bit. Where did you end up going to?

I think Golden Auto Mufflers in Daly City may have been cheaper?

Haven't been driving much for to Covid, booo! But yeah, I was actually shocked at cost too. I shopped around a bit and all shops were about same price so I went with a small business in Redwood City. Tips were $150. Still much cheaper than AWE and I love the sound, bonus is that it's still relatively stock (can go back easily any time).

Oh, and I did my old Infinity G37 and it was only $50 cheaper about 2 years ago. Seems like costs are just high, but Daly City should definitely be lower

Not bad!
I am thinking of making the stock exhaust a bit louder.
Hoping to get bigger 4" tips too.
