well this idea came from my old 86 iroc with a 5 litre motor tho.. when i baught the car it had a glass pack where the cat would be and a muffler..so i decided to take the glass pack off... thinking y would i want 2 mufflers rite? n e ways.. the car sounded awsome.. had a hollow tone to it.. but not raspy or nothin.. n e ways the muffler rusted and fell off then i saw it was hollow.. i wana do this with my borla cat back.. concidering its adjustable and i hate the sound with the closed plate, thought i would try somthin different.. but the only draw back is i don't have a welder.. but im sure if the price is rite i can get the muffler shop to make it happen.. i was thinking either cut open the inlet or outlet and pull all the crap out.. or just cut it open from the top and rip it apart.. the only problem here is i wana try to hide the welds a bit.. concidering i do have emissions.. but it quiets down alot when i put those cats in n e ways.. just to be safe i'd like to hide it a bit.. n e ways let me no wut u guys think???

the borla muffler is a straight through design i doubt youd see very much of a gain in hp but itd be louder and likely sound like garbage like a LM from the lack of a real muffler.
