    IMO, removing only make it sound obnoxious, worse if your car is an automatic.

    Hey I did a muffler delete on my manual 2012 Mazda 3 Skyactiv, and it's not obnoxious at all! It's the perfect rumble for me and I love it!

    You do know it is illegal to operate a motorized vehicle without a functional muffler.....

    Do you find it drowns at like 25-3000 rpm?
    Does it require a break-in period?
    Did mine on an 18 and sounds great but there's one spot that it drowns when hitting the gas. On the highway at that RPM I don't even hear it but when I hit the gas, or let go of throttle under 3000RPM it drowns pretty bad. Getting used to it, and changing gears is definitely a learning curve.
