If you've got the windows up, I don't think you'll notice much difference.

If you delete the muffler on the stock system, the sound characteristics will be the same as those sound clips from Kwikk, but the sound will not be as deep and low/rumbly. It'll be just slightly higher pitched, if that's the proper term.
