Quick Muffler Mod Question - SC muffler
 

Can anyone clarify if there are any negative effects on performance or whatever if I shorten my standard SC muffler? What I mean to do is remove a 6-10" section out of the passenger side of it.


Thanks

one thing you can bet on; the Porsche engine development team didn't add size and material to the muffler for no reason.

Many, of course, feel that they are out smarting that team of engineers, which stupidly made the muffler bigger, heavier and lower performing than it obviously could be. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...ool_shades.gif

Gotcha...

I am just curious how light the stock muffler can be made and still retain enough muffler capabilities for the exahaust path, and have a better than stock sound.


So far, it's a cheap mod and fun to goof around with.

"better than stock sound" is very subjective. Lower tones resonate better in bigger tubes .... higher tones in smaller . You know, church organs, and all those sound relations... ...basic physics.

Take your car to the track a couple times, and you'll get a better sound from the muffler. After a few sessions, the tone of my muffler has become noticeably deeper. I really wouldn't do any internal messing around with the baffling. Like the good doctor says, outsmarting the OEM engineers might be a chump's game in this dept. Besides which, the OEM muffler provides a certain amount of back pressure that our engines seem to respond well to in most every driving condition.

You oughta see what he has already done....

The thing has expired on the operating table. :Dhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1185569295.jpg

Dang.... it must have been the rat poison! No, really...
