49958, Apexi Exhaust Question
Posted by KiN, Apr-28-03 08:48 AM
Is the black cone looking thing inside the muffler just a silencer? I can just take that out and it wont cause any problems, right?

TIA

I dont have a test pipe, so I guess im gunna take the silencer off. Its just that one little screw holding it in, right?

Yes, a little knob, you might need a pair of plyers for that, or a hex head, and a small wrench. The muffler sounds much better w/o the silencer and you have more power that way too!
