one in two out exhaust mod (cap one)

[Dublinoh]

I tried to search this but couldn't find much. I recently bought an 87 Carrera with a nice stainless one in two out exhaust (must be an expensive one, beautiful welds etc). Some of you would love it but it was just too loud for my taste. I read where another owner had capped one side of his "two out" so I tried it. Capped the drivers side because it made the most difference. Reduced the sound significantly, and at least from driving it I can not sense a reduction in performance.

Is this an acceptable, safe for the engine thing to do? Have many others done this? Comments?

Thanks

It shouldn't hurt anything depending on the design of the muffler.

If you post a pic we might be able to tell you the manufacturer.

That is a M&K great muffler will last a lifetime. I have two of them and both are 2 in 2 out and I cap also for daily use and un-cap when I want to raise some hell ! Best of both worlds. In case you didn't know that muffler is made of 321SS vs. all others made of 304.......superior in every way.

I used to use a soup can.

Then I replaced the Flowmaster with a Magnaflow.
