Exhaust - how much louder will it be with OE muffler & Cat Delete?

[Dray]

I have a 2020 RT and would like to remove the cat and replace with
a cat delete pipe . My question is how much louder would the exhaust
be with factory mufflers in place? Opinions appreciated!!

On 14 RT I did the CAT delete with added Baffle..... only a small difference in sound ( better ) I love my tunes and the change wasn't bad ..... Mike :thumbup:

'20 RTL with Lamonster delete pipe, baffle inserted. I think it's only a tad "throatier," but it's still almost OEM quiet. I barely notice any difference.

20 RTL with RLS delete,hardly any louder.I do get better mpg.

I just did the cat delete on my 2016 F3T. I did not put in the baffle, and it is slightly louder at idle, but quite a bit when going down the road. I have been considering adding the baffle, but the added power above 3k rpms is so nice that I don't want to mess it up. I have heard that if you add the baffle, and then decide to take it out, it will be very tough. I do miss a little off the line tq., but it is hardly noticable. I plan on doing a flash one day, so that is another reason for leaving the baffle out for now.

I have a Baldwin Ironworks cat delete pipe, which is basically identical to the Lamonster pipe. I also have my stock muffler. Baldwin recommends running the baffle in. I tried it all ways with baffle/plug/baffle/no baffle. I "prefer" the baffle only. I did recently order a spare baffle, which I intend to cut in half. Maybe find a happy medium? I also have a Power Vision 3 with a custom tune. We shall see....

Baldwin identical, except, Lamonster is a C-Note more expensive and doesn't send a spring wrench. I almost went with the Baldwin instead. I am usually of the court that you get what you pay for... but dunno in this case.

On the surface, I saw that the BI baffle has a bolt, Lamont's did not. I didn't want to risk a bolt rattling around inside the exhaust if it loosened. So.... I dunno... I doubt the Franklin was worth it, and would like to know if it was..?

I have the RLS Exhaust delete with the resonator, but I did not insert the secondary baffle. The sound is smooth (not raspy like most) and throatier, but NOT louder. Even non riders compliment the sound.

I actually stopped by Baldwin's house/shop on a ride to the Ozarks this time last year. He assembled the pipe on site, installed it and mailed my big ass cat back to WI for $200 cash. The quality is excellent, with very nice welds. He offered to polish it, but I said no worries, as my buddy/I were heading to Branson/Eureka Springs that day. I'm very happy with the cat delete pipe.
