There has been many posts about this topic but they all ultimately show the same picture of how to modify a pre 74 muffler. Is there anyone that has a drawing or picture of the internals of the banana muffler(1987 3.2)?
And what parts do you remove?

Thanks

Do a search over at pelicanparts. I remember a discussion a few months back about gutting a SC/Carrera muffler.

I went to pelican also and I still was only able to find the same picture of the pre 74 muffler.

If you have photos please post them to this BBS so that others can also benefit from the thread.

Here is one from a 3.2L car. I'm sure that most of the Sausage style mufflers are similar.

Great picture Noel! When people talk about gutting these, do they gut everything? I have a cat bypass and am worried I will have no back pressure? I am looking into a Steve Wong chip will his mapping be able to give me the low end I will need because of losing back pressure. I am also interested in possibly putting a second pipe out the opposite side creating a 2 out. Any feedback would be great.


Thanks

Noel

I've heard of people gutting everything, but they are very loud. Worse yet, they resonate so back that you will go insane while driving. I have heard of people adding a second port and that does increase power and noise.

I imagine that you could just do a partial gut, but it really is a crap shoot as to how it was sound.

Good luck.

Here are the photos that Mike sent me for your enjoyment:

This is the thread I was thinking about.
