jkuhl6, we are all here to help you.... not sure why you have to get so short with fellow members. I'm sure once other members who have a little more insight on running without the stock muffler read your post, they will chime in. Again, everyone is just giving their opinion as that is what this forum is for...

 

I say just do it, and if you like it, keep it that way. Will it harm your engine? NO I took my muffler off and put a 6" round 22" long magnaflow in line under the driver side rear seat location cause I didn't want to hear the noise so much. I still get a pretty good low rumble (sounds good to me) and it's a straight through design so I know there's not much restriction. Also I did not run a down spout off the exhaust pipe after removing the stock muffler and I never smell exhaust in my jeep.

 

Taylorthedude has no muffler or exaust on his...find and ask him he will tell u and it sounds badass!

 

ReMinded of a pos Honda with a fart can....I lasted a day with it off lol

 

Chopped mine off right in front of the rear axle, added a $25 cherrybomb glasspak tube exhaust from autozone, sounds awesome AND it's legal in Most states. and no voided warranty and not harmful to engine.

 

It sounds awful. Don't do it. I chopped mine and put on a 14x4 Magnaflow and I hate it.

 

No harm in running without a muffler. Keeping some length to your exhaust is important as it helps with cylinder evacuation. Back pressure isn't an issue as it's exhaust velocity that matters and a muffler delete rig will only help by not dissipating as much heat.

 

i just took mine off the other day, i like it,sounds pretty sick!! but thats me

 

The only real purpose of a muffler is to reduce the exhaust note coming out of your engine. Resonators do the same thing. They are just mini mufflers. A muffler/resonator produces little to no back pressure in the system. Most of the back pressure in the system is created by the cats and small diameter piping. So removing your muffler will not harm the engine in any way nor will it affect the emissions. Will you see an change in mpg or power? Not likely. I have never experienced any effects of having no muffler.

 

I have mine off and have had no problems, not to mention it sounds mean.
