Quick question about muffler delete on G37

That is a bad assumption.
Like I said, its my opinion and I don't like the noise. It makes my hands free phone usage mostly useless due to the noise and vibration the exhaust creates within the cabin around the 2 - 3K rpm range.
You have a different opinion. But my opinion on my car is that I will be replacing the exhaust system.

Your pictures clearly show that whoever deleted the mufflers didn't keep the stock pipe sizing. It looks like they up-sized to 3" or larger from where they cut it originally. If they had kept the original 2.25" piping the whole way back your exhaust would surely sound different and most likely wouldn't drone.

Actually, Qman's assumption is correct. My experience is the same as his and other members, no drone whatsoever, and very modest noise.

Thinking about doing the muffler delete, by unbolting the stock mufflers and bolting on some straight pipes, each with aftermarket exhaust tips welded to one end, and flange to the other.
Questions:
1) What size pipe would I specify? Match size of OEM pipe that I'd be bolting up to, right? Assuming shop will determine flange type/size...
2) What size (inlet) exhaust tips do I buy? Match the size of the pipe? Or get an inlet size that's 1/2" or 1" larger than the straight pipe?
Reason I ask, could not for the life of me find this info, and from what I've found, shops in the DC metro area need very clear instruction on what you want done, otherwise they're reluctant to do it, or try to overcharge. Thanks

I tried the muffler delete and it sounded like crap, way too loud and droney. I heard that it might have been because they uses just regular cheap aluminum. I know a member used Mild steel on his delete for the straight pipes and it sounded not too loud. Not sure but mine sounded like crap.

BTW I got charged $200 for the work and that included the muffler tips.

Backing into that spot would take mad driving skills and concentration. Look down at a text for a split second....you're filing a homeowners claim :-)
I thought pulling into my small 3rd car garage was tough.

I personally ordered an exhaust tip with the same size inlet as the pipes to keep it simple.
