You won't honestly gain much if anything power wise... the dual mufflers flow pretty darn well, larger pipe size from the downpipe and midpipe would yield more power. It would sound alright though, most all turbo cars have a nice deep tone. If it is a cvt however be ready for constant exhaust sound while moving with no shift points to break it up.

@Badongski @qexler I agree that if you have the CVT it will be a constant exhaust sound. I have the 2.0L CVT with a custom exhaust and I have to say unless your exhaust sounds nice you won't like a straight piped CVT especially with the 1.5L. Given that the 1.5l has less growl than the 2.0L I couldn't imagine that sounding very good so I would suggest having at least some sort of muffler on it.

I just dropped the left one off, left the right one on there. It doesn't drone too terrible, I do find myself driving exclusively with the paddle shifters now though, to avoid the constant 2500rpm. Sound is litterally the only pro and con, depending what you like. Give it a shot, two 14mm bolts if i'm not mistaken, just behind the left muffler and one single rubber hangar.

I've done tons of exhaust work on small turbo applications... with shift points and gears it would sounds great, not great with a cvt... and won't increase power at all by removing just the mufflers. You could gain a good bit if you removed the resonator, catalytic converters, and mufflers though. Turbo cars like to be wide open (truly straight piped) with everything removed. But your talking about a lot more noise...

Thanks guys. I want to have a good deep sound.

Thanks guys. I want to have a good deep sound.

@Badongski The stock piping won't give you much of a deep sound, if that's what you're after go with a wider diameter muffler and exhaust piping. I think that stock is 2 inches and I moved up to 2.5 inches on my 2.0L

im currently looking at possibly doing a muffler delete for my hatch sport. i just want a bit more noise without it sounding horrible. just want that low growl.

Do you have a sound clip

Thanks bro


Do you have a sound clip

Not mine but the sound is the same

 

[Badongski]

Not mine but the sound is the same

Nice! I like the sound. I hope it will come out the same with the 1.5t engine

@Badongski It will not my guy, the 1.5T is a smaller engine so it will not be as deep sounding.

its more louder on the 2.0 rather then the 1.5 I think its because its turbo but I petty sure they have exhaust out for em
