headers with a muffler delete must sound like certified garbage. are you still running with no muffler?

I did notice a slight loss in torque, but a little more up top, and I had zero drone, since I kept the resonator. I now have a muffler and it sounds worse than the delete, looking into other mufflers at the moment.
