How hard would it be to gut my muffler to make the car louder. I don't want a full exhaust and i don't want to put a straight pipe there nomatter how much easier it would be. I want the car to look stock. so is it gonna be practically impossible without cracking it open or can it be done like gutting the cats?

 

anyone?

 

I would say to maybe just cut the top of it off and put a straight pipe in it. It would be easier to just cut the muffler off and weld on a flange to bolt or unbolt it whenever you wan.t

 

While I'm NOT recommending the "washer mod" I've heard about it being done. Basically, you unbolt the connector at the back of the downpipe and the front of the catback, remove the gasket, and insert a couple of washers to space it out a little. Instant exhaust leak guaranteed to be louder.

 

^ i did that before. it sounded good but i didn't like that you could tell the sound was coming from the center of the car and not out the back

 

any other input?

 

Our mufflers are straight through already, IDK if it will be any louder or not.

 

take a plasma cutter open it up take the packing out and weld it back up

 

screw driver mod! put holes in the muffler!

 

lmao did that to my grand prix haha

 

aw man im surprised hes not getting ripped apart for this ghetto civic question

 

i know maybe its the new year everyone is changing there ways hahaha

 

well if you must know im not going to be the first guinea pig to test this. another member on here who i will call anonymous will be coming by later tonight for me to do it to his first. if it doesn't work right then i wont be doing it

 

ok so gutting was a hell no so i cut it off his car and put straight pipe there

and heres the finished product on his car

YouTube - Straight pipe cobalt ss/tc with catless downpipe

 

if he was looking for more noise i just dont see why he didnt cut out the resonator and straight pipe that

 

+1

 

So you did a muffler delete....

Those two words could've saved you a lot of typing.
