CAt delete mude a little whistle but, one thing i dont want is to advertise that im coming down the road 5 minutes prior to getting there if you know what i mean.. With the muffler delete, is it obvious that there's no muffler (loud), or is it just a deeper tone?

It's quiet down low, but you will get the hair dryer/jet plane whistle at idle. It's only really loud when you mash the skinny pedal. Then it will make ears bleed. You can always take it back off if you don't like it, but I'd highly recommend it. You can still keep it pretty quiet, but it will make the hair dryer sound down low.

When I get on the pedal the V8 rumble tends to come out. If running lower RPMs or cruising parking lots it's got that lovely whistle.

This is NOT naturally aspirated gas junk!

Your turbocharger will supply all the backpressure you'll ever need, and if you do get pulled over, most states consider the turbocharger a muffler as well.
