just wanted to know....

 

what are you trying to accomplish?

 

Uh.... What and leave it unbolted hanging half off the car? Yes, that would be bad...

 

I think he means run his car without a muffler.

And yes. It would be bad on everyone's ears.

 

if you want to see all the effects of taking off your muffler do a search b/c i also made a thread about this and one person gave me some warnings about taking your whole exhaust off! look for brown-tec archived

Go ahead and do it...what could happen?

While you're at it, give me your address so I can mail you a little rainbow sticker for the back of your prelude.

 

sounds better than most exhausts

 

Wouldnt sound good. Also it wouldnt be legal so you would probably get pulled over and ticketed.

No it will not harm the car to run w/o a muffler. People do it all the time. Go all the way back the down pipe and your car is going to start tripping out cuz' the O2 sensors are not sending any signal (You would have to unclip them to remove the pipes). And you run the risk of going into limp mode on a 96+ lude.

All that not withstanding, it will sound like ****, but will not wreck your car to just run around w/o the can... You will most likely get a ticket though just for the noise... And if you get caught with no muffler you will get a bigger ticket.

To be perfectly honest when I cut my muffler of to weld another muffler on, I drove it for about 15 miles, it was louder but I have heard alot louder, It only got "obnoxscious" when K!LLA-A$$ V-TaC KIcKed !N SH@WtY

 

I didn't realize you could unbolt one.

The only thing you could take off, as far as exhaust, that would damage your engine is the headers. If you take off anything after that, you won't hurt anything...except our ears.

of course you can, just go a little bit back on the pipe past the muffler where it connects and there is 2 bolts that you take off and thats it. i dont know, some of them dont sound that loud but there is no point to it.

 

For anyone to correctly answer this question... we would first need this mans definition of what "BAD" is....

bad for the car ....not really

bad for the environment.... yes

bad noise pollution ....yes

bad for picking up women....yes...unless you like a yetti !

Good for catching ppls attention though.... prolly followed by booo's or the middle finger.

 

BADASS???

its up to you!!!

How would it be bad to the enviroment? The same gas that goes into the muffler comes out, unless you mean hurting the poor little birdies ears?

 

w/e man you know what imm trying to say...

this kids being random & wanting to know the answer to rediculous questions.

 

Some friends of mine do this at the strip. They take off the axle back portion for weight savings/ a little bit less restriction. I don't know, what ever floats your boat man

 

do this only at the track plz

 

first, it's not going to help performance. second, there's a reason your muffler is not right behind the cat: to get the exhaust gas out from under your car. you're going to end up getting carbon deposits all under your car. just get an aftermkt exhaust. if you just want sound, get a cheap one from pep boys or fleabay...

 

One thing that you all are forgetting to mention is that a muffler is also effective in cooling exhaust gases, which decreases the amount of NOx present in the output.

 

lol, taking off your muffler DOES sound better than most exhausts and doesnt produce any ricey sounds that some exhausts do. Ive been running without a muffler for some time and its just as loud as my apexi n1 i had on my h22 except in wot vtec its very loud. Othert than that ppl will think you have a very nice aftermarket exhaust.
