I was thinking about taking off my Mufflers. For the Reasons of sound and performance. I want to put flowmasters on there eventually. But I cant afford them right now. So I was thinking about just taking the mufflers off now and putting on flowmasters when I had the money. My brother says it will hurt performace but I think it would help. My cat is gutted out so I would in effect have straight pipes. Theres just stock mufflers on there now.

Its an 82 Trans Am with a 305. Thanks in advance for opinions or ideas. .

 

Your car will sound like a crappy old pick-up truck driving down the road. Don't do it you'll regret it and you wont feel any noticable increases.

PS. I'd personally point and laugh at someone driving around with no exhaust on a stock 305 thirdgen. I just might also yell out "HEY JOE DIRT!"

 

take the mufflers off
It will sound good!!!!

I have no muffler or cat on my 82 camaro it has a 305 too!
it sounds very good!!!!!

 

i know it is tempting (been there done that) but save your dough and get some headers and all 3" exhaust system w/o a catalytic convertor. it will be better...

 

yup yup

 

Maybe Ill diconeect it behind the cat and see what it sounds like. Cutting off the mufflers is an irreplaceable step. Id rather test out the waters first.

 

good idea do that.

 

I did at be4, doesnt sound bad at all.

 

that not at

 

What about performance gain. Will I see anything different with straight pipes. Or Will I maybe lose tourqe??

 

na i saw a slight gain, might have been in my head tho haha, but ya worth takin off, I just got my catback installed and hi flow cat so im good.
