Default Has anyone ever cut open a stock NA muffler?

Just wondering, we've starting doing modifications on stock z06 mufflers that everyone seems to like. I was thinking about attempting something similar on the crossfire, but im not 100% sure of the internal construction on the stocker

I opened mine, cleaned out the guts and welded it back together. No improvement in sound so I deleted it and ran a 4" stainless wye pipe. Woody

I wonder if gutting the muffler will constitute any significant gains in back-pressure being reduced! if so I wouldnt mind trying it, as long as it doesnt make my car drone!
