Hi guys I am about to install my magnaflow oval muffler on my 94 celica Gt model. The previous owner already removed the catalatic converter, but left the middle muffler that is between the cat and the muffler at the rear of the car.
-My question is do you feel this middle muffler lowers performance at all as it looks to be a straight through muffler. I believe it is there just to help muffle the sound? Not for backpressure control. -I am thinking of removing it, but if it won't change anything I'd probably just leave it. I am thinking the real restriction lies within the factory muffler itself and the cat. that is already gone. THanks!!!! |

the stock resonator does hurt the flow because its a slotted core..meaning the walls of the pipe have slots tilted up into the exhaust stream to direct some into the packing to deaden sound...
where as an aftermarket PREFORATED(drilled) core which looks like the inside of your magnaflow...the wall is smooth, flat and has holes which keeps the exhaust flow much smoother and less "restricted" while still deadening the sound |
