Gypo Member 15 Member For: 14y 11m 27d Posted 21/11/10 02:03 AM Share Posted 21/11/10 02:03 AM Hey Guys,Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with removing the centre muffle from an Xr6t before?Seems like a cheap muffler mod for $50 worth of piping, and it apparently gives a nice deep tone...If anyone else has any other little mods to improve sound, glad to hear them! Im in cheap DIY mod-mood.Cheers in advance. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71763-center-muffler-deletion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to know as I'm planning on getting this done when exhaust shop has time. Would like a replacement pipe flange to flange no center muffler. Can anyone explain why the exhaust splits in two anyways? Any performance benefit or noise reduction measure?

Sounds a bit tinny low in the rev range with light throttle, but does sound nice at full throttle.
