Default Muffler delete kit?
I'm looking to do a new exhaust setup with minimal fab work and money. I want to get rid of the junk crossflow flowmaster muffler on the car with some type of muffler delete and add a single bullet further up the exhaust system. Is there anyone that offers a muffler delete of any kind for a 4th gen fbody?

My car came that way when I bought it, so I'm not sure how it was done exactly, but a piece of straight pipe was clamped in where the stock muffler was. Then a bullet muffler welded into the I-section of the y-pipe. Call places like Texas Speed and see what they say

Cutouts? I'm not sure if there is a street legal delete kit out there. Cutouts are a good way around this.

Sounds like you want a loudmouth-type setup.

I'm a fabricator for a living, so yes. Just trying to avoid having to build an exhaust.

I'm in MS. Do you have the system or just the resonator?

A piece of straight pipe welded in place where the muffler used to be plus resonater in the merge pipe is a cheap solution. I've even heard of guys putting the straight pipe through the muffler to fool inspectors, if you have to deal with that kind of thing. Just my .02

Most of what you want to do can be done in about 15 minutes at any competent muffler shop.
