no muffler questions
i took the muffler off of my car a couple of days ago, and i love it!
i know this is illegal, it is just temporary until i can save money for dual exhaust
last night my dad mentioned to me that i should think about putting it back on because it will mess up the tuning and damage the engine
i thought that it really didnt affect the engine that drastically, isnt it the same thing as having a straight pipe?
my dad is just nervous because he doesnt want me to screw up my car, and i figured i should research this, because he is paying for a large portion of the car, haha
so if anyone knows anything about this, like how much this affects the engine and the tuning, please let me know
thanks

RE: no muffler questions
What Scrming said. It wont affect your engine. I never really understood how backpressure works on the exhaust but I dont think that would be a problem.
Just my 2 cents. If your gonna drive around like that.. stay away from economists. [&:]

Taking off the muffler won't hurt anything... personally i think it sounds pretty terrible with no muffler...
