can running a silencer cause any adverse effects to the exhaust system? the reason i ask is because i have to use my silencer as my car is my daily driver and i have to commute to school everyday. without the silencer, the car is pretty loud. i'm currently running the jdm 4-1 header, carsound cat, and apexi n1 catback.

anyway, can having a silencer in cause any type of buildup or damage to the cat itself since the silencer somewhat cuts off airflow (at least, that's how i think of it since the diameter of the silencer's hole is smaller than the exhaust itself)?

please let me know. thanks

dont know but i leave mine out. you can feel the difference with it in and out.

im sure it still flows way more than a stock EG muffler would. HTH

mine flew outta the muffler and got ran over by a truck...when i went back to pick it up.

yeah, i know there's a difference with it in and out. but with it in, can it damage any components such as the cat; just because it does cut off the airflow a bit?

i would leave it out, but then i have to use my car as a commuter, and i've already had a run in with the law about my car being too loud.

it shouldnt make the cat wear out any faster than aftermarket cats already do.

if anything the cat is working better with all that backpressure
