tickets for noise. Cracked pistons lack of power Thirsty Go deaf AND probably get a beating from the locals Get it pinched by some yobbo BR (cause it sounds 'sick' chew through spark plugs

It would suck, imagine the noise it would make, what ever floats you boat.

Absolutely nothing if it's electric

Even less if it is diecast.

A mate with a Holden my god tell him that it sucks and to straight pipe it, wouldn't that be the best thing for it.

straight pipe means that the tiny little men with hammers can crawl up the pipes and attack the piston crowns. Then their brothers with blow torches will try very hard to melt the pistons. Before you think this is a joke -go to the LIBRARY. funny building with slabs o9f paper in em called books.look up race tuning a holden or even just basic internal combustion. See if you can work out why its actually NOT a joke

No WOF; even raceing car,s have a decibel limit.

While i think the above is a wind up.I raced a big bike for years with a straight pipe higher compression than a car and it when,t faster as the years when by.

but your post is a joke
not having a muffler wont kill your engine
look at the Supermarine Spitfire - they didnt even have a proper exhaust length & ran 28+ psi . . . . . .without mufflers

^Yep, same for some of that mrfixit garbage up there too.

Just change the rear muffler.

How long did those engines run for ! were they running efi with limited adjustability

Those engines would not have been factory std engines with straight pipes & as for the Spit Fire engine, thats a dedicated aircraft engine designed to run with short pipe stubs
LMAO "mufflers on an air force war time fighter plane" ;-)

oh please!
aircrafts cant just pull over if the engine dies
mufflers are there for the noise. not the longevity. if your running the right length & jetting, the only difference will be the noise

28 PSI! The British measured boost pressure as lbs./sq.inch (or psi). The normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.6959 psi, although this can vary from day to day: a reading of +6 meant that the air/fuel mix was being compressed by a supercharger blower to 20.7 (rounded figure) psi before entering the engine; +25 meant that the air/fuel mix was being compressed to 39.7 psi. However, there was a problem with the British system of measuring boost, in that in an aircraft the pressure gauges should measure absolute pressure within the engine's supercharger, rather than showing atmospheric pressure at sea level, plus the supercharger's pressure; at sea level this was a reasonable measure but, in engines that were used through different altitudes this method becomes completely arbitrary. Because the Americans measured their boost ratings using inches of Mercury (" Hg), their boost gauges more accurately recorded the absolute pressures being generated by the superchargers at all altitudes.[13]

An old drag racers and motorbike owners way of judging where to cut exhaust/headers was to paint them and cut where the paint was not burning.this stil gave back pressure and performance as it showed where exhaust gasses were the coolest.Still stuff your engine in the long run especially if not tuned to run richer for short periods.
