Jamez Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 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!!

sroeser01 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I removed mine when my resignator got caught and all bent and just replaced the whole exhaust. It's not that expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
