ZZP muffler delete

[Jads_99]

As some of you guys know I installed the ZZP catback on my sonic over the winter break. I have no cat, no resonator, and the muffler. I love the sound but it’s just not loud enough. Any of y’all have the muffler deleted? Would y’all recommend ordering the muffler delete section or keeping the muffler? Drone really isn’t an issue but this is my daily driver so I’m wondering how easy it is to live with. Thanks guys.

A downpiped and straight piped Sonic could possibly be the worst sounding exhaust ever. It truly sounds awful... Keep a resonator at least

I know my 1.8 with ZZP that had the 2nd cat and resonator delete was pretty loud, and popped as RPMs dropped in first.

So the 1.4 will probably be slightly quieter due to the turbo, but give it some time to break in, it may get a little louder as the muffler gets worn in a bit.

If you only have the cat back then deleting the muffler sounds pretty good. It's pretty loud, not as loud as a straight pipe, but it does sound nice. Personally I have a straight pipe with a resonator because without one it's fun at first but the constant drone drives you ****ing insane.

I would say put the money towards doing the mid pipe and down pipe, and then it sounds IMO really good. I had the cat back for a year and daily drive, and was glad I don’t have the drone. When the revs get to 3k and above with Catback I felt like the tone was too quite but with the full exhaust it has a great tone

Let the ZZP break in for a while. Over 8000 miles and my exhaust has gotten considerably louder than when it first was installed.

I just had a ZZP catback exhaust system installed on my Sonic. I chose to go with the 2nd cat and muffler delete. It is loud and awesome. Love it. I posted the results on YouTube

That sounds awesome! I’m hoping to do this soon too.

I got a full zzp exhaust with just a muffler, it does sound nice but Im gonna put in the resonator as well to try and tame it a bit. Gotta strike that balance between loud and how fast it actually is.

You are right. Balance is good. But it is so cool to catch people off guard when you hit the accelerator and blow them away. It really does seem like there is more power around 2500 to 4000 rpm. I just have to remember to accelerate easy in the mornings when I go to work.

I've heard that for the 1.4t, resonator and no muffler is about the most aggressive you can get and still be bearable.

I have a straight pipe from the turbo back and its loud. However it doesn't drone much at highway speed. I like it a lot.

I have the full zzp down pipe mid pipe and cat back on my 1.4 and at higher RPMs it has way too much drone, like headache. So I just installed the zzp resonator and now it sounds just a hair louder than stock. I’d like it to be a bit louder so maybe I can just delete the muffler? And keep the resonator? Anyone done that on here?
