Tricks for exhaust systems
Well i heard something else this time...
Drilling a hole in the Muffler to get a louder tone??? Sure would be cheaper than spending $400 on a whole new system, but could be crappy and could mess something up. Anyone know anything about it?

I tried this just for the h#ll of it before I put my new system on my 5.8L Bronco. The holes really did not make much of a noise difference at all. I could not tell any difference. I even put multiple holes in it and still nothing.

my brother told me it would make a big improvement- not sure if he really knew but it was worth a shot. thanks

I had a friend who wanted to cut his muffler off his truck but halfway through got tired of working and just left it with a big chunk out of the piping. The mixed sounds made his truck sound like a civic on steroids. Best bet would be just to cut it all the way off or just replace the whole thing.

Drilling holes in the 92 made it a super sleeper before we replaced the exhaust system, it made it sound like a crappy oil burner, til you would step on the gas and mash some gears.

I drilled holes in mine and didn't like the way it sounded, reminded me of a tuner car, so I took a claw hammer and a crowbar to it, sounded good after that. Only problem I had with that was a lot of resonance in the cab, so I cut it all off, and after a while got bored with that so I gutted the cats. Now I have Flowmaster 40's and love it.
