well i mean i felt like it was faster, but i also feel the same way after i wash my car LOL
but it will change the sound a bit
the muffler we removed is the exhaust resonator which is made to quiet the noise by having the sound waves bounce around inside of it and get absorbed into the walls. if you want your car to sound a bit louder and a hair deeper, then this is an inexpensive way to do it

there are 2 resonators. one looks like a muffler and the other is i guess similar to a universal cat but (it is not a cat). remove both resonators. just removing one doesnt do much. and removing both does a small amount not loud at all.
if you remove the Cat it will be loud and you will loose power down south in the RPM's but gain some high up. and unless you add the right resistor or add a RT cat you will throw a code.

he did that then i think he went back and got the other one done.
i have both removed and it sounds great. doesnt drone or anything funky. at low RPM's its deep low tone but when you get higher up the sound kinda dissapers. overpowered by the intake. if you are going to do anything get both done.

ya the intake kinda over powers the exhaust. but that gives the guys that think that the exhaust is going to be too loud an idea that it is still quite. i have some from outside the car but the wind was blowing so i could not get a good clip. sorry.

Just did this today. Paid 40 for it. Didn't really make much of a change, I can definitely hear it, but I can see why its hard to get a sound clip. Was it worth 40 bucks?
No probably not, but when I install my headers, which should be here next week some time, maybe it will make it sound meaner.

I'm hoping that with the headers it will be more noticeable, but I wouldn't be able to compare it to stock cuase I don't have the headers and the mufflers is no longer in my possesion.
Don't let this discourage you from doing it. But I would have rather spent my 40 bucks on on a one legged stripper, just cause that would be fun to watch.
