Does a muffler delete affect gas mileage?
I want to take the muffler off my car (love that engine purr!), but I don’t want it to hurt my gas mileage. Does a muffler delete affect gas mileage?

No, a muffler delete does not affect gas mileage. Muffle delete is done by removing the muffler from your car, making it louder while operating.
A muffler is a sound suppressing device. It works to quiet down the intense noise created by your engine during combustion. This is a service to the community, preventing loud noises on the streets.
However, the muffler does not do anything to raise or lower your car’s gas mileage, so a muffler delete has no impact on gas mileage.
However, most people prefer a quiet car, so we don’t recommend a muffler delete for the sake of your neighbors.
