I agree.

I had the opportunity to "sound-check" when I went in for a muffler delete at the shop I choose.

Hearing them (muffler deletes) on videos, it sounded decent, but in person it just sounded.. too.. unrefined. In a sense, it needed "direction" and a slight muffler to make it go from sounding like an annoying fart-can to something more exotic-esque/unique.

In the end, I went with an Elite muffler and there's a huge difference in terms of how either option went.

Best $350 I've spent thus far on my vehicle and although I know we have different motors, it's truly a pleasure to listen.

TL/DR: If you want loud, muffler delete. If you prefer a more refined while still maintaining similar loudness, you'll want to go aftermarket muffler route.
