HI All, I have read most of the posts on the muffler changes. I am not sure which way to go. I am more interested in sound than increasing performance. I think, correct me please, I will remove the baffles in the stock pipes first, and see how it sounds. First, how do they come out and second can they go back in ?? Frank |

You can remove the baffles by simply drilling out the rivets that hold them in and then pull them out bygripping them with pliers or vice grips, twisting and yanking. If you do not damage them while pulling them out, then you can always put them back in and then rivet them back in or replace the removed rivets with screws. I had no trouble removing mine and they came out without damage. I was surprised at the sound after removing them. A little louder than stock, but not close to an aftermarket exhaust. ------------------ • MTD Prowler Intake System 2.2 Future Mods:

I removed and reinstalled mine easily as per Bill's instructions. To these ears, the sound was terrible. My next step was to replace the mufflers with straight pipes joined in the middle like an X pipe. This sounded LOUD until I put the tip mufflers back in. The sound was great then, but droned in the cockpit. When I put the gears in, the resonance was moved to a different RPM and the sound was better for every day driving. Surprisingly, when I gutted the converters, it actually got quieter in the cockpit while the outside sound got louder. One of the best sounds that I heard of was the Borla muffler in place of the stocker with the tip baffles out. ------------------ |

Frank, You can pull your baffles out, but most are not satisfied with the "blowing sound" they end up with. I did 18" Blue Streak glass packs on the cheap. The packs sound OK until you hear the Borla muffler (and they do increase top end horsepower),with or without the Borla tips. ------------------ |

I have the stock exhaust. When I went to remove the baffles in the tips I had trouble getting the drill to stay on the rivet also the angle was way bad. I went and got a thin chisel and with a couple hard shots from a hammer sheared the rivet off with no scratches. Was simple. I like the sound, but I am sure a Borla sounds better.

I have pro1 performance mufflers w/ straight pipes run from the cats. The things on the end of the tailpipes aren't really mufflers they're resonators the real muffler is a chambered 3.5 foot long triangle thing. I wanted a cool sound also somewhat closer to that of v8 than v6 I think I have come as close as I can. I had the pro1 muffs turned outward at a 15 degree angle so the percusion would have to hit the walls of the muffs before exiting. However this was just my therory, running them straight out may sound the same. But If I want to quiet I just replace the baffs with an allen wrench, but even with them in it still has a cool rumble when downshifting. Good Luck ------------------ Toby |
