Has anyone peeled back a stock muffler and looked inside

So you have pics of the inside AND after modification right? Wondering what you did to reduce the flow restriction, and of course how it sounds and gains/etc. Enough detail

Im sure it is a chambered muffler and those are very restrictive but help keep the noise down.

Thats my guess too, I'm figuring a perforated inlet with fiber packing and then some chambers to cut out the noise. Probably a drop in tube size somewhere in there as well, but maybe not.. wait and see.

Pics for the pre gut, should sound good when this is gutted out, will weigh it and post sound clips, also return to dyno.
Enjoy my fellow Doctors.

If you are going to gut it out I would just do a 90 degree bend pipe from each intrance to its perspective exit and cut out the walls, may be drill a few holes in the new pipes.

I would think that if you dont run a pipe for it then the air will just bounce around inside and you will still get some restriction from it and the flow inside would be all jumbled. But dont quote me on that.

Haha, you beat me to this. I was going to eventually tackle gutting the stock muffler until I achieved the same sound as the washer mod. Gutted the stock muffler on the Evo, and that actually produced 5-10 WHP!

There will be a bit of turbulence, but exhaust flow takes the path of least resistance, so it really won't matter much to overall flow.
