> [@Willybeen](#): > > what about back pressure? etc etc… i know bikes without a muffler tend to not last very long… i know a bunch of people who pulled the stock muffler off of their 02 R1 and never tuned it since… one of them blew up within 5k miles, the other… well he bought an exhaust for it before putting 1000 miles on the setup well, removing the muffler off of a bike probably reduces the scavenging effect quite drastically (along with back pressure) since the size of the exhaust is so small. although, most Harleys you see on the road don’t have shit except straight pipes. Maybe it’s just a coincidence? Besides… if anything, it would probably just kill the torque… don’t see why/how it would really hurt it ---

You should see what I do when I get bored other times, which includes, but not limited to: Shooting small game(squirls,chipmunks,birds) Blowing shit up Lighting things on fire with obscene amounts of gasoline doing burnouts in or on what ever is in my garage. getting on my front loader and building sweet jumps for my mini bike. ect. And, to defend my self, I had my car jacked up becasue I was powerwashing the mud and salt/sand that is caked underneath my car. So I just decided to grab a 14mm and take off the 4 bolts and lower the mufflers off. I’m not sure exactly what it is,but when i’m WOT in boost the car sounds like a god danm jet. ---

I love the way it sounds, and I have had no issues. ever get the hangers re-welded on that fart can or is the clothes hanger still holding it up? i kid i kid. The only negative affect i can see with ending the exhaust pipe at the axle is the excess acidic hydrocarbons that will pre-corrode your undercarage. there is a reason that exhausts usually exit beyond the line of the body of a car. you have an 08 5 door wrx correct? im sure the muffler layout could use some opening up with its wonderfull 180 degree bends before the muffler. i havent seen under a new wrx yet to see how many resonators/cats it has. but im sure with the modern day emissions standards there are plenty of things in the way of an open exhaust to quiet things down. ---
