a few sau members have told me that it wont really effect hp, but just makes it quieter. im rippin the middle one out as it has no bottom on it just a gapping hole, the guys from mettams muflers gave me a reall good price for 3' from the cat to the arse muffler..

I have 2 mufflers aswell, the one in the middle and the arse-end cannon

I got a TRUST Power Extreme II system, I wanted to remove the center muffler recently but the exhaust shop guy said it wouldn't be advisable as I'd get cabin drone (one of my pet hates)

My advice - don't do it!

hahaah ahhhh like the window down drumming noise, well i might have to get myself a new mufler then, anyone ripped their 1st mufler out, and do they get much "droning" so happy i have learnt something today.. def the smartest person in high wycombe by a mile now

yeh drone as is the most annoying noise known to man in the cabin

you can actually feel your testicles vibrate with the exhaust note

if you've only got a cannon-style muffler (read: not very efficient at muffling noise compared to others) then i'd keep the center muff in

Guys...2nd Muffler is also known as Resonator right? I went to Mettams yesterday and Pat fitted a "Hotdog" Resonator for me. Cuts down the droning by lots. Is there a difference between those "hotdog" style resonator and oval type resonator? Quite confused

i took out my middle muffler and it just made it sound a little beefier. no droning it all. my rear isnt a cannon though.

Hello guys, just wanted to answer the Japan question from the first post.

No, they don't need to have 2 mufflers in Japan, but in order to get sufficient muffling capabilities from a 'cannon' style exhaust system, the 2nd muffler is needed obviously. Some of the 'cannon' style exhausts can be baught with just the single tail muffler, but they top 100db easy, whereas a legal exhaust system in Japan has to be <92db. It affects power loss so slightly that you won't notice/not worth the hassle.
