How would removing the mufflers effect the level of CO emissions? The video sounds really good BTW. Last edited by Captain Tuttl; 06-02-2009 at 06:54 PM. |

I would think that it won't have any impact. Mufflers are strictly for sound suppression. As far as emissions control goes, that's what the catalytic converters are for. The exhaust gases have already been 'scrubbed' by the time they get down to the mufflers.

I plan on getting this cheap set-up done by mid next week. In my meantime i'll wait for a bigger variety in exhausts.

Took mine off today after reading this post. Its sounds pretty good but is a little loud for me, only took 15 minutes to remove. I'll probably leave it off until my exhaust comes in a couple weeks.

Guys, I don't intend offense to anyone, but unless this actually produces a functional gain (i.e., power), this mod is rice, pure rice. It's a sound-only mod; the auditory equivalent to plastering stickers all over your car. All show, no go. Like a Toyota Tercel with a fart-can exhaust and a huge rear wing. 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.

^ true, but for those of us still waiting to replace our stock exhaust it still could be something fun to screw with to pass the time
