Muffler Delete Lost POwer?????
 

hey i just did a muffler delete and seems like i have lost power? idk maybe its just me anyone else have the same problem?

thanks!!

butt dyno needs recalibration
a little bit of both
faster because of weight reduction
slower because bumper is now a parachute
for some people loud "feels faster" because racecar
for some people loud "feels slower" because it makes more noise than before to gain the same speed, therefore you think the engine is working harder

Try putting the muffler back on.

Placebo imo.

I have a PLM Muffler delete and when i hit about 4,500 RPM I feel like im driving a nascar.

Indeed :D

Perhaps some back pressure was lost? Could've hurt some low-end torque.

yes i think i did lose some torque because when i am around 3rd gear and punch it i feel a little jolt and used to push me back in my seat but now it barley gives me any jolt just slowly rolls into the higher rpm

also my clutch has got light it used to be heavy but it has got lighter i got no idea why ? i dont think back pressure has got anything to do with my clutch

how you like the plm muffler? does it drone alot?

This thread just gave me cancer.

Delete the clutch too.

Brake delete is more fun.

I (sort of recently) drove a friend's FRS with a muffler delete and he had just flashed his ecu. In the case I drove, there was a sort of lag between pressing the throttle pedal and getting a response out of the back. So in my case, had a negative experience with it, but I'm guessing would have been much better with the ecu/throttle calibrated.

However I also drove the car before when it was e86 / visconti tune (yes get the pitchforks) / perrin intake / with the muffler delete and the throttle response was amazing.

So, if you've pulled the battery recently or reset your tune, be aware that you might have less throttle response for a bit.

driver delete?
