Has anyone ever removed that rear (resinator) muffler thing and just added a straight pipe? | ||||

Yes, please search. I have, but I added a flowmaster at the same time, so I can't speak for a noise difference. I have heard it create a nice rumble on some trucks, and some people say it makes no difference at all. Hack it on off. | ||||

Get rid of it. I added a flowmaster and cut the junk off. Sounds much better. | ||||

We know it sounds much better Jimmy. But you never know what kind of expectations the dude has in his mind. | ||||

I recently cut mine off on my Disco II...much deeper sound, but not much louder at all. You should route it via the quarter panel like this: http://www.pbase.com/image/23098377 Jamil | ||||

Jamil, not to be negative here but would that not discolor or peel the paint from the heat of the exhaust around the hole in the fender? Just a thought. | ||||

Scott, I've had my exhaust exiting through my quarter panel for almost 2 years now. The only discoloration is from the soot of the exhaust, and that washes off. | ||||

My thought was, just to go to a local muffler shop to add a piece of pipe....does it any HP, due to less backpressure?? Could be a stupid question....but you never know. | ||||

I think its no secret that disco owners have to pay a lot for repairs and gas... the cheapest solution that I found was...if you have a dremel, but the carbon fiber blade and do it yourself...I did both center and rear mufflers/resinator in about a hr. U-clamp it until you make friends with a welder and then have him weld it. It cost me less than 20 bucks start to finish. it sounds nice and I felt more power...others may disagree | ||||

Had to cut mine off after crushing a section. didn't run new pipe until just recently. It was a little louder, but not much. this is the thread that gives a few more details ../2/37625.html"MB">
