Is it bad to cut muffler off?

Just cutting off your muffler will most likely result in a louder exhaust note with maybe a few horsepower gain, but nothing you’ll notice. You’ll just hear more of your engine, which can be bad. Not all engines sound great without the muffler. So for most cars, the muffler delete will not add any power.

Does cutting off your muffler decrease power?

In most cases, a muffler delete system or a set of aftermarket mufflers (or axle-back mufflers) may do more harm than good and result in less horsepower. Removing the muffler will also force the ECU to go into LIMP mode, made evident by the check engine light on the console.

How much does it cost to cut off a muffler?

A muffler delete pipe can cost around $50 to $250, with a demand of at least $100 to $200 depending on experience. It should be noted that the price of a muffler delete varies by brand, mechanic, vehicle, and current location. It is intended for off-road stunts but is prohibited on most public roads.

What kind of transmission does the crossfire have?
