Should I delete the Muffler?

So I just acquired the Active Autowerkes tuner and downpipe and love the new sound that I've received but I'm just curious....am I missing out by not removing the muffle and just adding a Y-Pipe? I already have the 3.5 inch AA tips. Just wanting to know if doing this completely ruins the sexy sound our 2s make or does it make it even better? Oh I still have my reso if that's makes any difference.

At first I thought my fabspeed muffler delete was a little too much. But after growing into it. Can't go back. Love the sound. The cold start is rough. But after that it sounds glorious

Couldn't agree with you more, not sure if you have a DP? I do and still couldn't agree with you more.

Trying to get my GoPro videos on YouTube so I can share what it sounds like.

I'm eagerly wanting to get the DP too but unsure how the sound will be. Plus one to the delete though, sounds amazing and always getting compliments from people.

Ended up stopping by AA while in Miami and they added there M2 downpipe and black tips...I love the sound but may still go for the bypass in the near future.
