What would happen if I removed the muffler? All I'm looking for is some sound, would I accomplish this by removing the muffler? Someone also said that my check engine light would come on, is this true? By the way the picture is looking to the rear of the truck.

 

i have had my muffler cut out for the last 20k miles and no issues, nice rumble, if i think of it i will get a sound clip one of these days, if the truck is around anyways.

 

was it hard to remove the muffler and the remaining exhaust?

 

no just undo the clamp and pound it outta the hangers with a rubber mallet. i had the shop do it, 40 bucks cash out the door, wasn't gonna waste my time for 40 bucks.

 

just one more thing...no check engine light right? thanks again

 

nope, my buddy has the same thing on his 07 screw too and no light either.

 

wow! this was way harder than i expected. the muffler or the hangers didn't give AT ALL and i hit those fu*$ers pretty hard. i'm gonna have to bring it into the shop to have it removed.

 

Spray the hangers with some wd-40 or other lube before you start. They should slip out easier after that. Also if you have a ratchet strap wrap it around the muffler and over the axle and winch it tight. Once the pipes start coming apart just get behind the truck and pull on the tail pipe. That's how I did mine. Took me about 10 minutes to get the muffler and tail pipe off. Good Luck.

 

really, yea lube up the hangers, silicone spray works good too if you got that laying around

 

if you need help - i saw you live in west palm - private msg me and let me know - i just replaced my exhaust with a magnaflow - had to remove exhaust by greasing the hanger - also had to put the rubber gromet like thing back on magnaflow hanger w/a damn vice!
