Muffler Delete

I have been thinking of going for the muffler delete pipe from RPM and using a drop in after market filter.
How many of you guys have the delete pipe / straight pipe mod?
Would you reccomend it?
I am wanting to try this and if I don't like it I will get the trusty Aero.
Any and all advise appreciated.
TKS.

be prepared for a drop in low end torque & mileage... especially with a 5" exhaust... talk to Bemkin (sp?)

Due to having a turbocharger, the normal rules of exhaust do not apply. The turbo gives the engine all the backpressure (and then some) that it needs to operate correctly. There should be no adverse change in power anywhere in the rev range by increasing exhaust size. If the 4" is doing an adequate job then you will not see a benefit and indeed be wasting money.

Welcome to df Cowboy6...
from my experience on 3 differenct setups on my '05, when you open up the exhaust your lowend power drops, add some backpressure into it and low end comes back up. what i've observed happening is that the low boost low end torque drops off, turbo spooling increases and egt's drop. if your on it hard, you'll blow right past the low end anyway. if your cruising down the hiway, you have low boost conditions & thus less low end power which will hurt your mileage. off the line performance in the city also hurts...
