Removing Rear Muffler

[CarDude]

Does this increase horsepower...and how much louder than with the muffler?

General concenus is 8-10 horse increase.

Does increase volume, on an otherwise stock car sounds great, with headers and cats some say it's a little too "ratty" sounding.

Just put 2000 OEM headers and high flow cats on my 97, left the rear muffler on. Will dyno and then drop the rear muffler and dyno again, I'll post the results.....

Is $225 an insult. I was going to modify my existing exhaust...should cost me that or less.

 

[jimandela]

Pretty close.
I paid $500 i would let it go for $325
they run about $375-$400 on the VCA classifieds.
let me know.
I did the snakeoly so i could keep my stock setup stock .
just incase if I ever sell and the new guy wants stock.

A simple rear muffler delete should be less than $100. I paid $30. Sound is much improved from stock.

Muffler delete should be mandatory.

MY 96 has the snakeoly and it sounds nice...I wish it was louder.

Muffler delete and no cats made the car sound nice. I want louder so I'm installing headers and Borlas as of yesterday I'll try to get it done by Saturday's dyno day here in Chicago so I can see what kind of gain I got.

jimandela, you'll love the B&B. I sure do and I'm going to be doing complete cat delete or high flows. I just haven't decided that yet.
