Does it do anything apart from change the sound?Nah buddy for 180 bucks tell em to stick it! I went to a Bay Rd exhaust In Cheltenham and they removed my centre muffler and put straight through pipes for 80 bucks. Today however (after many months of having these pipes) I ripped them out and replaced them with hotdogs. Sounds way way way better, still get a nice burble at idle but doesnt drone. When I had my straight through pipes put on, at about 50-60kmh, I get a massive drone\borring noise inside the cabin. Sounded shiithouse!If you plan to remove your centre muffler I would recommend the Hotdogs over the Straight through pipes anyday!CheersMatty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that removing the muffler does NOT increase performance couldn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warranty is there in black and white in your Service Book, if you have a problem, read it and understand properly what the warranty allows and doesn't allow, some dealerships are more forgiving than others though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
