do u mean..by replacing a performance muffler//
and yes..there will be hp and torque..and look and sound[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

[importspd]

well i know when u replace it it will add hp and torque but i meant just unbolting it at the cat..........

[1028CiViC]

hm..but that would look weird though..

[bobbyd]

rice sounding and you will probably lose low end power.

[djlunatic]

its sounds like minute rice!

your cat is right underneath the driver's side floorboards . the engine noice will surround your car's cabin and vibrate it real bad.

you'll look like a broke stroke

[1028CiViC]

don't think it's a good idea to do that.

[importspd]

yea it does look weird, my friend did it to his neon and he says it adds hp. he is going to run a pipe right from his cat to his bumper and put a tip on it. I guess its cheaper than exhaust but im trying to picture how it adds hp, there is absoluly no backpressure so, like bobbyd said, there is probably hardly any low-end hp left, and the high-end probably didnt go up much.....but thats what i think, i dont know, thats why i was asking you guys...lol[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

my buddy did this to his accord, he said it helped, but im not sure. i was thinkin about doin it, because my muffler and exhaust are dying from my car being to low to the ground...

[1028CiViC]

eh..that's not good to hear that..but i don't think that's an good idea..personal opinion.

you DO NOT want to go muffler-less. you'll shatter windows.

[importspd]

shatter who's windows? i dont think i can get any closer to shattering mine, everythime my system hits my back window vibrates about 3/4 of an inch, im sooo afraid its gonna break[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

"shatter who's windows? i dont think i can get any closer to shattering mine, everythime my system hits my back window vibrates about 3/4 of an inch, im sooo afraid its gonna break "

Dang, what all do you have in your trunck?

[01civicboi]

i remembered WAY back in driver's ed my teacher talked about that. i've never tried that theory though[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

[importspd]

actually i really dont have THAT great of a system, just 2 10's with a 350 monoblock amp, but im not joking the glass looks like it is bending all the time, its actually startin to sacre me cause i always have people in my back seat, and i dont want it to shatter all over them.....

[CIVIC808]

take'em off. i've been driving my car without a muffler for a long time.the sound isn't that loud. my purpose was to reduce backpressure so i can run my nitrous.
i had an exhaust to put on but it would be 2 inches away from scrapping pavement.

[HaRdKoRePinoYrAcer]

i tried it and it sound coo...kinda loud...but u lost alot of gas...so if u want the sound...prepare to spend more on gas...imo

i was going to go with no muffler till i could get the money for one. so i went to the midas and put on 2.5 inch from the cat back. it is very quiet actually. and it looks pretty stock. no one even notices my car. but that is good for me.
i have a turbo and that is one reason why my exhaust is quiet
