Rusty muffler plans

[Jamez]

Hey peeps

 

I have a super rusty muffler and I'm cheap so I was thinking of chopping off the muffler and attaching a pipe in its place. In doing this could I lose power, gas milage and above all could I do damage? I know there is lots to do with back pressure and all that hoo haa but does anyone know if no muffler and just a pipe be no bueno?

 

Thanks!!

I removed mine when my resignator got caught and all bent and just replaced the whole exhaust. It's not that expensive...

Sorry no info on the straight piping it

I just replied to your question in another thread but here it goes again:

 

No but it is a 2 into 1 muffler. A straight pipe will not work but a Y pipe will. At that point you might as well just get another muffler. Y pipes can get a little expensive to fabricate.

 

Also, if you just want to run 2 straight pipes, you will lose all your low end torque and it will sound like a weed whacker.

Rockauto has the muffler for about $89 not too bad plus you can use the 5% discount code to save a little.
