So I was thinking...

And I was wondering what gains, if any, as far as mpg goes from cutting off my muffler. The exhaust already ends right after the muffler, and I know it will be louder, of which I don't care, but I was wondering if there would be a noticeable increase in mileage. And how would it affect my EGT's?

you wouldn't notice anything for economy gains or lower egts by running a straight pipe vs the muffler.you'd only gain a headache im afraid.

No real gains, unless you count pissing off the nosy neighbors (which is a gain in my book!

) with the loudness

I honestly couldn't care about my neighbors and being to loud, I'm not starting a snowmobile at all hours of the night when we have no snow. I got a new job that's about 35 miles away and just trying to save as much as possible. And hopefully it warms up soon and I can get a pump and injectors and put them in.
