View Full Version : ANY ONE CUT THERE MUFFLER OFF??? need4speed 11-04-2005, 03:56 AM You're not serious are you? TheScionicMan 11-04-2005, 05:56 AM I can't find it now but there was an article that was dynoing some axlebacks and they ran it without the muffler to test and they lost 3 HP. BTW, you can unbolt it just in front of the rear wheels, don't cut! RedneckwithanxB 11-04-2005, 06:21 AM well if you go underneith your car, around where your floor shifter is, you will see these two funny looking canister things, if you cut above those, where your header meast that pipe, and run a flowmaster free flow cat with 2.25" pipe the whole way back to an HLS muffler, you get 10 horses, i got her dynoed, but cant find the chart file anywhere hotbox05 11-04-2005, 07:01 AM um flowmasters flow horribly. all they do is add torque and noise... aireck 11-04-2005, 07:16 AM so if i remove the exhaust ... i lose power? hows the sound...? there has to be someone who tried this.... hell... i'll do it tomarrow.... i'll let you guys know on the sound... Sciond 11-04-2005, 11:22 AM yes you will lose power...too little back pressure will slow you down....and it will be loud jallamas 11-04-2005, 01:43 PM um flowmasters flow horribly. all they do is add torque and noise... :come: Are you talking about our vehicles for torque and noise or all vehicles in general. I have been using flowMasters for over 20 years and have had great success with there products. I had an increase in HP and torque. John loginskinner 11-04-2005, 02:03 PM do i smell... rice? please dont do that it sounds like ____. Spider13 11-04-2005, 02:19 PM When I installed my airride, I test drove it around the block a couple times without my axle back. I diffently noticed a loss of power, especially on the very low end. Although it wasn't much louder then the axle back I run, up to about 4k. I guess the mid pipe is restrictive enough to not make it sound like a tank. 11-04-2005, 03:40 PM Any one out there just cut there muffler off?? if so how does it sound?? any power gains at all??? Believe it or not, we tested this too. There was no gain at all with a stock scion, and the sound was horrible at freeway speeds. Not mention that when we removed the muffler, it blackened the whole underside of the car. It was hilarious! Nothing but a fart can when the muffler is removed. hotbox05 11-04-2005, 08:16 PM um flowmasters flow horribly. all they do is add torque and noise... :come: Are you talking about our vehicles for torque and noise or all vehicles in general. I have been using flowMasters for over 20 years and have had great success with there products. I had an increase in HP and torque. Johnwell they may gain hp over stock restrictive exhaust but i bet you're changing out more than just the muffler aka pipes...... just about any upgrade is good over stock... compare some magnaflow ss series or any magnaflow on a v8 versus the flowmaster... the magna's will have more hp less tq the flow's will have more torque and less hp that is just comparing them with another.. people prefer the sound of say a 30 or 40 series street or race flowmaster. i personally do not... the sound and the connontation of high flow characteristics in flowmasters name are why people buy flows.. flowmasters are good for drag cars like a heavy chevelle.... and gas powered motorhomes where you need a lot of grunt. jallamas 11-04-2005, 09:41 PM um flowmasters flow horribly. all they do is add torque and noise... :come: Are you talking about our vehicles for torque and noise or all vehicles in general.

Good info thanks for sharing! hotbox05 11-04-2005, 10:06 PM no problem. i didn't mean anything to come out like i was being a d*ck. i'm just sharing info and a lil debate. cheers. jallamas 11-04-2005, 10:51 PM No problem hotbox05, it nice to learn a little from our younger informotive crowd. John siopaojoe 11-08-2005, 12:13 AM funny, everyone in socal who went to the longo sponsored scion drag race at irwindale a month ago got to hear my COMPLETELY stock xB with stock intake and headers connecting to a 1 foot pipe aiming straight down at the ground with no muffler...(just a 2" steel pipe)...rape at the tracks. I won best e.t. and tied fastest times with a guy who had spent like 2k on bolt ons to his xB (intake, header, exhaust, clutch, flywheel, pulleys, etc...) not to mention the turbo, supercharged, nos xB's AND tCs whos times I beat...not to ge cocky, just saying that the mufflerless topic is questionable. hotbox05 11-08-2005, 01:20 AM i will never believe that joe..... jallamas 11-08-2005, 12:51 PM Bullshiot!!!!!The only way you did this is if Stevie Wonder was driving. John siopaojoe 11-09-2005, 03:02 AM Ask any of the Scion Evo guys that were there...or actually ask ANYONE who was there because everyone heard my car from a mile away not to mention seeing me get the award. aireck 11-09-2005, 05:08 AM i heard you some internal work done to the engine.... but thats all i heard.... i was asking if it was ok to run with an open header but didn't get a response... by the way he did win best E.T. i can agree with that. hotbox05 11-09-2005, 07:24 AM last i heard engine work makes it not STOCK xB anymore..... and why has no one up here heard about this sponsored drag event? i want pictures.... and i bet with a high flowing exhaust you would have gotten more torque and may have had a better run.. what was your time joe? and if you were going to run only a 1 foot long exhaust pipe.... why would you run stock headers? why would you run stock intake? for only an extra 300 or so in parts your time would have been even better.. siopaojoe 11-23-2005, 03:21 AM I've been to the track almost every week and with that setup I ran a 10.5 1/8mile and before with a straight pipe and stock muffler, the fastest was like 10.8s and those runs were on stock tires...thanks quadoptix (sorry...lol) y invest 300 for I/H/E...because it's more satisfying beating everyone else who has that plus more while spending absolutely nothing, just tweaking sh*t around i'm just saying, i'll take stylis' word on anything (we always use to talk ultimate exhaust setups in fine detail) but trying certain things out i've come up with great results. with no exaust, the car felt slower off the line but the times (and the crowd of people) know whats up hotbox05 11-23-2005, 03:27 AM joe . we need to aim chat. lol it's been too long. ha ha Panda07 11-26-2005, 04:45 AM joe, will having the muffler like yours decrease MPG? hotbox05 11-26-2005, 09:06 AM lol. he has no muffler . lol Panda07 11-27-2005, 09:51 PM lol i know, i ment having a set-up like that...without the muffler...will it decrease mpg masafina 11-28-2005, 01:03 AM I dont know if gain or not hp but every time I go to drag my xb I disconect the muffler and the 1/4 time decrease soulsly 11-28-2005, 06:30 AM if i put a silencer on. will if affect the performance of the muffler |
