Having said that, will it produce any real gains? I highly doubt it, personally, but we really don't know at this point. We need to have a before and after dyno test performed to know for sure. Again, I'm not trying to offend. I'm just calling it like I see it.

While I do agree that there is likely not much of a gain to be had by deleting the muffler...there is, however, quite a bit of weight savings in dropping that thing off the *** end of the car. Now, it's not dropping weight where we would prefer (front end), but it is dropping weight none-the-less. No HP gain but a reduction in weight is still considered a performance increase.
