Is it possable or has anyone done this? I was wondering it you could cut the stock pipe after the muffer and ram a rod thue the muffler's insides to increase the flow aka noise and then put a union with some pipe clamps to re-attach the rest the system. If anyone has tryed this please post how it sounds.

 

Yes it is possible. All you should need is a coupler or two when you put the system back on.

 

Has anyone done this and did it sound good is realy my question?

 

tallpaul took a drill and drilled 1/2? holes in his muffler. IIRC he drilled about 20 or so and put some metal flashing around for a "echo" type of tip. im sure he'll chime in on how it sounds.

also, i dont think it'll be worth it to pound out the inside of the muffler due to the design.

 

I tryed Tallpaul's Mod and it kind of sound like a ricer to me to he honest. It's not realy loud it makes a kind of pop can sound IMO, but at least you can here the motor run.

 

ive heard a early 70's ford mavrick with a 250 i-6. the guy chopped his muffler off i think. its loud, and its sounds alright, but not like a rice honda.

 

I'm looking at the thursh turbo mufflers at one store and a 3' long piece of exhaust pipe with a turn down at another. Think it might be the ticket it will exit right before the axle and i will be able to use the stock mount points since it's an offest muffler. Total price about 50 bucks.

I might just cut the muffler off and run it that way for a while, "cost zero dollors".

 

We had an inline 6 at work that had the muffler fall off. The next day I was driving it around and I came to a red light. Beside me was a guy in a GMC. He looked over at me and kind of revved his truck. Here I was in a company truck with advertising on it and what not. Well, the light turned green and I floored it. You should have heard that engine! I peeled out of there and left the guy behind me. I think he was a little surprised. The truck sounds half decent with no muffler. (I think the cat was still on though)

IMO the 6 sounds good w/o a muffler and just cats. id say hack it off, throw on some pipe and call it a day or run it out the side w/ an echo tip. thats what i have and it sounds good to me.

 

I agree!

dont you need a muffler for inspection? if you do then Phrogman's idea would work great.

 

i have considered chopping my muffler off, but i am worried bout it passing inspecting in MA

 

Well the smog is the only inspection in IL so the muffler is not problem for me since my truck is a 1996 they just hook up to the OD2 computer and there done. My mustang 2000 GT passed the smog check with no CATS go figure good old o2 sims.

 

whats the easy way to hack off a muffler

 

sawzall or a pipe cutter...but i highly recommend a sawzall...
