Default unbolting muffler?

i have a gsr, pretty much stock except for the K&N air filter, i was wondering if it would help if i unbolted the muffler? this would only be done at the track ( if it even helps).

thanks,
jon

undo the bolts from the header that connect to the CAT, that means pretty much straight pipe, no restrictions. i would only do it for the track.

Don't bother. You'll gain about 1/100 of a horsepower.

If you were desperate, running open header would be better. Just don't hang out in the car with the windows up or you'll die of carbon monoxide poisoning.

so would a performance exuast be better than just unbolting stuff? how so? i was thinking of a full ITR exuast system. any suggestions? i just want a pretty quiet free flowing exuast.

Yes, an aftermarket system will be much better.

Don't bother with ITR stuff. Stick with the aftermarket parts, ITR parts are a compromise between street and race.
