Default Why use a muffler on a race car like Pierre Kleinubing?

I am building a new b20Vtec engine for one of my Civics which I use for Road Racing only and noticed that all the Realtime Integras use a muffler, wouldn´t they be faster with no muffler? I have no mufler in my race cars but was wondering if I should install one for better torque.

Many tracks have a dB limit and require some form of sound suppression to comply.

How can a muffler/resonator add torque?

backpressure, all though i dont know what it is good for but i belive it has somthing to do with retaining current power. also the rules and regulations may have limits on what they can do to the car so a exhaust may be needed
