Waylander, I got my Muffler removed a year after I got my Crossfire and I will NEVER go back. The drone really is not that bad..maybe because I have a manual and I can shift to a higher gear..but it sounds ABSOLUTELY amazing when you are on the gas. It pops on downshifts too. Its hella cool man. I get compliments daily on how sweet it looks and how sweet she purrs.
