Muffler Delete/Tuning Question
Don't know if this is the right spot since it covers a few topics so if it is the wrong spot I apologise.
But here's the question:
I recently took my muffler off and I really like the sound (I know this is sort of a hot topic with some people) but I have the motordyne XYZ Y-Pipe, along with other breather mods, with a resonator so the exhaust note has no rasp and really isn't that much louder until about 5k+ rpm. I did notice the drop in power though. So would a tune (after I get berk HFC's) eliminate the problem/deal with it/have another option?

Yes, power band shifts higher, but on a street car, low end torque is more important that high end horsepower. You lose that power low end because mechanical exhaust scavenging due to back pressure of the exhaust actually creates torque. You won't be able to recover that with a tune
If you want to run no muffler, gonna have to deal with it.

I have the HKS muffler in the garage but I wasn't too impressed with the change from stock. Sounded barely louder than stock. I'm not wanting something that when I fire it up it'll wake the neighbors up but I'm a man who enjoys his exhaust notes/taffy

Yeah I mean its still got some torques but I figured if someone knew a way to get around the problem its worth a shot.

OP: I am surprised you're not satisfied with the HKS. Put on the HKS recently and I really like it, although it is a lot quieter then I expected. Really screams when you stomp on the gas though. I was thinking about getting a magnaflow too, but I don't think the magnaflow would be much louder then the HKS. I wonder how the HKS would sound paired up with resonated tp/hfc
