Default PLS DELETE ME. I POSTED IN THE WRONG SECTION

I have an ek hatch 1.3 auto wit a broken sport muffler, the previous owner removed the testpipe/resonator i don know what u call it n i'm going to replace the thing. I managed to find a eg6 muffler for my ek.

question. will a straight Bpipe without the testpipe increse performance n save a bit of mileage or not.?


SORRY

unless you have a turbo you may loose power, depending on how big the test pipe, stay stock unless you can supply all the sufficient mods to make it work. non turbo cars rely on a certain amount of velocity without a cat theres too much.
