How's the interior noise without the muffler? Any drone? Dramatic increase or just a mild increase?

It's not too bad. Normal driving you can certainly hear it, but not obnoxious, and roars pretty good when you step on it. Give it a try!!

I simply loosened the pipe clamp on the muffler and slid the two rubber hangers off, that's it. No cutting and completely reversible

Just realized this is about 2012's.

How about a 2007 - would that sound as good?

I put a thrush welded in place of my stock muffler. I still have the resonator on but I am thinking of removing it. Would that make the sound deeper? Would there be any sound difference in removing the resonator?
