heres a question has anyone removed just the muffler? a friend told me it would change the sound but... i was curious if this had been done and if it sounded any good at all or like crap, im willing to remove it but only in the hopes it sounds good!

 

I removed mine and put on a Flowmaster Delta 50. It sounds good, and I got a little better response when I put my foot in it. I also dont have that big old chunk of metal hanging down. $180.00 bucks installed.

 

I had mine done, and it sounds great. I can't remember what brand was put under it, but it was tucked up under the frame and cleaned up the rear end nicely. I couldn't stand how much the stock muffler stood out.

 

I had my muffler removed on my old 88 volvo wagon...and when i say removed i mean it snaped of right infront of the cat. converter its very very very loud...and shook my volvo, kinda funny tho


Yes, i realize the thread is about changing the stock muffler with something else, i just thought id share

 

Yeah when you remove it, it actually sounds good. while installing the gibson i turned the jeep on when he removed the muffler, sounded very nice and loud, but can't tell you exaclty how it was in open air, because i only turned it on under a rood so it was echoing. but it sounds good i would say.

 

I think he actually means REMOVED and not replaced with anything, just a pipe straight to the back.

 

thats how i run mine, it feels like better power

 

One answer....Rice Burner!!

 

An other answer might sound kewl but loss of power, todays engines are made to have backpressure.

 

When I removed mine I started it up I thought it sounded pretty good. I put an inline magnaflow in afterward. I didn't notice any performance increase though. But it does sound good with none or a magnaflow.
