Right now I have a 3inch straight exhaust from my downpipe (2.5in) to my muffler. The problem is that my muffler inlet is 2.1in so its very restrictive. My question is, do u think i should cut the muffler off and replace it with a straight 3inch pipe no muffler? Or should I get a muffler with a 3inch inlet and run that instead? Noise is not a problem for me so let's forget about the noise factor. Would running no muffler make me lose power because of the decrease in back pressure? Money is tight and if i could do without buying a muffler i would rather that! Let me know fellas'!

Thanks in advance.

My setup is the following:
B16A2 Stock Internals
T3/T4 Turbo
Tuned on Crome 270whp 174tq

 

You do not have to run a muffler. Also turbo's love decreases in back pressure.

***Please look at local laws about noise pollution before doing so.***

 

What about loss of low rpm power?

 

agreed^

you will spool up faster

 

im changing my muffler to a chambered muffler, i would properly loose some power, but i can always up the boost.

 

Anyone else have any input??

 

you can always run a vibrant stealth 3" muffler. they look stock and are black.

 

bump

 

no muffler is more power

just run open dp

 

Turbos might like lower back pressure however when I removed the cats and mufflers from my car with a blower my top end increased yet my low end torque decreased. Just something to think about for daily driving.

 

your low end tq wont drop
be perfectly fine for dd

 

Thanks guys! Thats why i love H-T!
