If you were to cut off your exhaust pipe the muffler would come off with it, sence it is attached to the very end... I would be alot louder, it might hurt your MPG rating....
you will crack the header.
Use a sawzaw with a metal cutting blade
You will have a smelly exhaust, and you may goto jail.... don't mess with the Cat.
Muffler cut out? Not needed in most states illegal
NO!
yes. Not all trucks are loud if you cut off some of the muffler then the truck will become louder
The simplest way would be to use a grinder with a cutting disc and just cut the pipe off.
Cut it off, torch or saw. Have a muffler shop do the job. Save yourself a headache and busted knuckles.
if you are using a higher flow muffler, it will not throw a code unless you put on a muffler that is more restrictive than the stock one (good luck with finding or even making one more restrictive) it will not throw a code.
the resonator is a separate part of the exhaust system not part of the muffler it is to change the tone of an engine sound some are mounted before the muffler and some after the muffler if you really want to remove it cut it off with a sawsall or chain cutter and weld in a piece of pipe or look at a aftermarket exhaust catalog many replacement pipes omit resonator's.
it will blow up
