Muffler delete question
*this was originally posted in Coupe section but I made another thread following maxcichon's advice* sorry for clogging up the forum with my double posts LOL
If I cut the muffler out and weld the stock tips back on, will I have problems with back pressure? I heard it can mess your motor up. I want my car to be louder and I have found this to be the most interesting and tempting option but I do not want to cause any problems with it and the level of reliability it's at right now.

Re: Muffler delete question
Every little bit helps...
BUT-I have what is essentially a double-glasspack system. 2.75" dual pipes and a 2-in/2-out Magnaflow glasspack replacing the cats and what is left of the Magnaflow cat-back at the rear.
No worries...

What kind of sound are you getting? I'm looking for a somewhat V8 sounding rumble (yes I know that's a long shot). No tin can ricer sound though, cause this isn't a Honda Civic.

But my main question is will I have back pressure issues? If not then I'm cutting that sucker out myself and going full ricer for a few days until I pay someone to weld the tips back on. Really scared about the potential back pressure issues.

Re: Muffler delete question
Honestly, there is no issue. less restrictions is always better, especially after the converter. BUT don't let hot exhaust melt anything.

I just passed a Hardee's Steak biscuit through my nose. It's a friggin' Miracle!
Thanks a lot, buddy!
CT, Airboy, (I can say that!), It sounds pretty nice. I even get burble on throttle-lift!
And I walk like a horse with 2 legs missing...
Or three....

Re: Muffler delete question
I think I've decided on a game plan. I want to cut the muffler and rode around for a few days to get a feel for it. If I don't like it then im going to install some type of Flowmaster, no specific model yet. I was really impressed with the videos I've seen on YouTube. If I don't like that, then heck I don't know
