Muffler Delete. Sound Clips. Listen to THIS!!!

[@michaelevans7429]

I've watched several vids with modded exhaust and this is the best one!! Thank you!! 💯 💯💯💯

[@LivinWith3M]

You are welcome bro. Thanks for the complement. 🤙🏼

[@kdek2050]

Watched the video with anticipation, liked what I heard. Went to my local shop and had it done. I liked the startup and idle, hated the highway. Applying anything more than partial throttle, at 70mph highway, and it starts to drone. Not for me, changed it back, $250 gone. Oh well.

[@LivinWith3M]

I sure hate to hear. I guess it’s all personal preference.

[@benlongoria8057]

I am going to do that too sounds great man, I am putting a magnaflow x muffler where resonator is and taking 3rd cat out as well. I did BOV mod to it with livernois tunes plugs 160 thromstat and MAF sensor. Truck moves good now. 👍🏼 just to quiet stock.

[@LivinWith3M]

Awesome man!!! I really need to do the VTA blow off mod. Sounds wicked. 👍🏻

[@govillonyt7979]

Sounds real good. Keep on coming out with these great videos.

[@LivinWith3M]

Thank you. I sure will. 👍🏻

[@tomtalker2000]

I'm doing this to my 2018 Explorer Platinum. I hope i can keep the stock quad pipes that come on the Platinum. And also pass inspection with this mod.

[@LivinWith3M]

You can keep the stock pipes. They just removed my mufflers and placed pipe in place of them. I kept my factory mufflers in my shop building. So if I ever need to put them back on it’s an easy reversal. 👍🏻

[@offdatgogo]

Just got a '16 Sport. I'm liking you Ex playlist of mods. I might be going broke soon LOL. Thanks for sharing.

[@LivinWith3M]

Hahaha. Thank you. Join the broke club. At least we will have sweet rides on the way to the poor house. 🤣 Those 2016 sports are sweet!

[@jeremiahbrockman9999]

Would you be willing to drop me some pictures of the muffler delete and what the shop roughly charged you? I really like the sound of this.

[@LivinWith3M]

Jeremiah, I would but my wife sold the explorer last week. She wanted a 4runner. I told her she wouldn’t be happy. I don’t have any pics handy to help. But the shop was $100 to remove them. They put two pieces of pipe where the mufflers were removed. It looked great. I’m sorry I can’t help on the pictures. I’m sure my wife will want another explorer in a few years. Thanks.

[@matthewheffernan6975]

Do the BOV bypass and use the 1” chair bottoms to cap the opening on the tube! Looks good and you’ll love the sound!

[@LivinWith3M]

Good deal. I’ll go this weekend to Home Depot or Lowe’s and pick up the chair ends. Prob make that video in a few days as well. I appreciate it man!

[@matthewheffernan6975]

@@LivinWith3M You bet! Just be patient with the back one because it can be a pain in the ass. I highly recommend one of those cable tools for removing the spring style hose clamps. Made the job much easier and I just reused the factory hose clamps on the chair bottoms and it looks good.

[@LivinWith3M]

Gotcha. 👍🏻

[@LivinWith3M]

Matthew. I made that in cab exhaust noise level video for you. Look through my recent videos. I just made it. Thanks and hope it helps to make your mind up.

I wonder if my v6 2013 explorer will sound this good if I do it sounds awesome

[@SmallworldwithRJ]

Did u get a big increase in the turbo sound? Just bought a 2013 explorer sport and can’t hear the turbos spool at all

[@LivinWith3M]

I’d have to say not much. Just the blow off valve but not actual turbo spool. Congrats on the 13. I was amazed at how fast they are. 👍🏻

Nice. That's on my list.

[@WILMINGTONNC]

How much did it cost you to have the deletion of the mufflers ?

[@nektarioskoronis4133]

Can you show us a picture of what it looks like underneath where they removed the mufflers. Thanks

[@LivinWith3M]

Ok. I will make another video about the underside so you can see the piping. Give me a few days and be sure to hit the bell notification on the channel and it lets you know when I upload a new video.

[@jasminegregg72]

Whoah!! I have the exact same year and make and model car. But mine came with a bench seat n the back.. I can't stand it. We have 3 kids. I am curious to as I'd yours came like that or if you installed it. If you installed it, how did u do it???!

[@LivinWith3M]

Mine came factory with the rear captains chairs. Definitely comes in handy with the kids. 👍🏼

[@nateb4543]

We have 2 kids (planning on a 3rd) and about to buy a 2018-19 explorer. Can't decide yet on ecoboost or bench/captains chairs. C.C. are better? I'm thinking at least 1 of the 2 3rd row seats would always have to be up, leaving less space for storage

[@LivinWith3M]

@nateb4543 big decisions around the family for sure. We managed with the captains chairs nicely. 👌🏼🤙🏼

[@z-onez-only4453]

I gotta wonder if I use electrical cutouts after the resonator and before the mufflers if I can get this sound with a quiet option

[@LivinWith3M]

Not sure, but I do know cutouts are an awesome way for diversity. Want it loud one day and quiet the next. Perfect option in my opinion.

[@danfasnacht5849]

How do you go about doing this

[@Chibbs.E]

How's the drone like this? I did a muffler delete on my 2005 Acura TL and it has HORRIBLE drone at about 3k rpm.

[@LivinWith3M]

No drone on mine bro. Some cars do, but these don’t.

[@tobyreaka7848]

Is this the rear muffler delete or what did u get done

[@LivinWith3M]

Yes. I had the rear mufflers removed and straight pipe welded in. 👍🏻

[@chrisyax6711]

Is there much drone when driving highway speeds?

[@LivinWith3M]

Nope not at all. It’s really quiet inside. I was very surprised.

[@matthewheffernan6975]

@@LivinWith3M could you please to a video of the inside sound with the windows up? I am on the fence about doing this because it almost impossible to make a six banger sound decent. I have seen a couple of videos with the resonator delete but keeping the mufflers on and that didn’t sound bad, gave it a bit more sound but not too loud.

[@LivinWith3M]

Matthew. I sure will do that for you. Give me a few days and I will. 👍🏻

Great purchase! And it will absolutely NOT throw any check engine lights nor void your warranty. You will love it I promise. One of my best mods to date. 👍🏻

[@rebelmike99]

What ecoboost motor is in the explorer? I'm thinking about doing this to my 19 with the 3.5.

[@LivinWith3M]

Mine is the 3.5 tt as well. 👍🏻

[@jacobbowl1655]

how did you do the muffler delete

[@LivinWith3M]

I paid a local shop $100 to cut them off and replace them with straight pipe. So cutting and welding involved. Only took shop 30 minutes. 👍🏻

[@19Dennis53]

So... it sounds like this by removing the mufflers and just running the catalytic converter??? Any additional HP? This actually sounds awesome. Never thought it would sound so good. BTW I have the 2017 Interceptor. Also thinking of a decorative hood scoop to really make people think! I already have the word Interceptor on the back with a V8 emblem under it. People think I traded the engine out for a 305 V8 that we used to have in the muscle cars back in my days. LOL Awesome video.

[@LivinWith3M]

Hey. I removed the mufflers at the rear but left the resonators which are after the catalytic converters. Don’t remove them. Just the mufflers. Thanks. I bet that interceptor is badass for sure!!! Love it!

I really can’t speak for Massachusetts but in NC I never had an issue with inspections.

What made you choose the delete. Vs. Getting rid of resonater and putting aftermarket mufflers? Just curious. Love the explorer mods... keep the upgrades coming

Thanks Wes. Probably least expensive option to try. Now I may add magna flow mufflers and delete the resonator later. I’m always looking for a better sound. 👊🏼

[@LivinWith3M]

Man , yours sounds awesome. I may look into a set of the bbk lowering springs and tint the front windshield 35 percent all they down. Like my truck. The lowering springs only lower like 1.25”. So just enough to realize it’s not stock.

How much did that cost?

$100 for both mufflers to be deleted.

is muffler delete legal

[@LivinWith3M]

Check your state laws please. I have heard in some states that it won’t pass the “visual” inspection. It does not throw any check engine lights and always passes diagnostics. In NC they never have a problem with mine being gone.
