Guys i deleted the rear muffler on my car..i saw alot of people and videos on youtube with non complains but ive heard that deleting the rear muffler would actually make you lose power at top end speed...is it correct should i get it installed back...please note that ik only talking about it performance wise will the car really lose power at the top end with the rear muffler delete with stock resonator and stock downpipe?woiild appreciate some feedback..thanks in advance

No not true. Mufflers in general are a bit restrictive. If anything you'll Gain HP on the top end. With a turbo car, the less back pressure the better for the most part. Now you might lose a bit of low end response and torque as a result. But what you lose down low, you gain where it counts, and that's up top.

But really the difference will be negligible.

So what do u think should i have it back to prevent any kind of losses either low or top end?or shouldn i install an aftermarket install that is less restrictive than the oem unit like magnaflow
