cut my muffler off i have a 95 lt1 stock with cold air intake, i cut my muffler off last night, i love the sound of it, but i feel like i may have lost some hp!! does having no muffler cause you to lose hp since i guess there is less backpressure? i still have a cat on it.

exactly what is was thinking
my z28 had no muffler when i bought it, it sounded like a$$. and had no bottom end (torque).
with no muffler you lose back pressure, in turn, losing torque.
i got lucky and scored a flowmaster for $30 bucks and put it on and got the bottom end back.. car ran alot better with a muffler on it, and it didnt sound like a damned old grain truck.

Unless your cammed, it sounds like ***. Like these redneck trucks we have all over south Georgia with straight pipes. I hate it. They make a shitload of noise, and it takes the vehicle forever to get to 30 mph.

I fail to see how this is different than having an open cutout. If there's still a cat it probably sounds fine. Now totally open, I will agree sounds like *** except for at WOT and idle. Especially with open headers, dear god the drone is something not of this world. On the power subject, no you didn't loose anything.
