hey guys,

recently i installed DC2R rear lcas on my eg, and the muffler was banging on the arm, so i went and got the muffler rerouted. after that job was done, i installed an eg5 rear sway bar and it was tapping on the muffler again....FML.

but anyway, i thought i'd take it back to the muffler shop to ask them to check it out, turns out it was a shitty muffler in the first place and i was advised to get a new one seeing as the fibreglass inside or whatevs was effing up.

so my question is, is my muffler the reason for my power loss? i dont recall having much of a power loss issue before i did all this crap to my muffler. and yeah ill be getting a new muffler soon anyway cos the bloke said it was old and worn out.

any help appreciated !!
THANKS !

Dont think you'd be experiencing much power loss if the exhaust was re-routed (assuming piping size is the same and not much longer)

But no affence, i reckon the exhaust shop ripped you off. If he re-routed your old muffler, couldnt he tell you it was a shitty muffler in the first place?

Should have just got a new one or even a 2nd hand one.
