Understanding Mufflers
Mufflers are an important part of your exhaust system because they ensure that your engine is up to sound and emissions regulations. These parts are found along the exhaust system and tend to be made of steel and coated in aluminum. While deleting the OEM muffler from your muscle car's exhaust system may seem like a quick way to gain more power, that doesn't always mean it's the right move. Removing your mufflers can alter exhaust back pressure, which impacts the performance and durability of your exhaust. For this reason, upgrading your exhaust with aftermarket mufflers is often a better choice than removing them entirely. If you plan on replacing your mufflers, you'll need to know the diameter of your exhaust system to find a compatible muffler part. Typically, two to three inches is the size you need for muscle car exhaust systems. It's also important to verify how many mufflers your vehicle has. For example, many modern Mustangs, Challengers, and Camaros have dual exhaust systems with at least two mufflers. Many muscle cars also have resonators as well, so replacing them with premium options from brands like Borla or Flowmaster can further improve the sound of your engine.
Choosing Aftermarket Mufflers
There are a few choices to make when considering aftermarket mufflers for your muscle car’s exhaust system, but they all boil down to sound and performance. If you’re happy with improving sound and don't care too much about performance, you can replace your muffler with a budget-friendly part or even delete the muffler entirely. Just pay attention to state laws when going this route. On the other hand, if you’re looking for performance, you'll need racing mufflers and resonators. Depending on the event, some races may have specific rules and regulations, so check those first, but if you’re driving on the street or hitting the track in a non-serious way, Corsa, Borla, Flowmaster, and other similar brands make high-quality mufflers that will improve power. In fact, the best part about racing mufflers is that they tend to improve both sound and power.
