Muffler Delete Help needed. Im pretty ignorant on this topic so I'm hoping you guys can help me out.
I'd like to take my mufflers out and replace them with straight pipes from after the cats to the first clamp after where the muffler currently is.
where can I find pipes that will slide into these spots. I have an 04 GTO, Borla Exhaust.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

^This. How is the rest of your exhaust system. Do you still have the stock manifolds and do you still have resonators on. If you still have the stock set-up with the resonators, I would have them removed and replaced with an H or X pipe and keep the borlas.

It should be noticeable even at idle but you should definitely keep the mufflers cause I ran striaght pipes for awhile and the drone is not easy to live with and eventually everything starts to rattle in the interior.

How much is resonable to charge for a resonator delete (straight pipe replace) ive read anywhere from 25-100 bucks which sounds cheap, but this ***** i talked to on the phone made it sound like it was going to be real expensive cuz he'd need to take my exhaust system off my car to do it... how true is this with the 04 gto?
also, even if it did have to come off, i know it bolts on from the cats down to just past the resonators.. idk doesnt seem like a big job like this guy made it out to be lol.

Ever wonder how he would weld the top of the exhaust pipe with it on the car?
Getting the exhaust off isn't a big job. But it does take a little bit of time to take off and put on...which is labor...which costs money.
If you're not wanting the new pipe welded in, cut the ****** off yourself, get the appropriate amount of pipe, and clamp the new in place. You're probably gonna' have a nasty exhaust leak, but that's what happens when you cheap out.

^This.
What's luck go to do with deleting your cats?
He's a ***** because he may/may not have to take the exhaust off? How mature of you to insinuate that...
