Will cutting off the muffler cut gas milage?
I have an '83 Ford F150, i want to make it ear shatteringly loud, but not wanna mess with the mileage I have. It didn't come with a catalytic converter, and i was planning on cutting off right before the muffler and leaving it. Where i would cut it is about halfway down the truck where cab and box meet. Anyone foresee any problems?
Why not just cut it right after the manifold?
Anyhow, STUPID.
In theory your mileage may change very little. Buy itself. But you will be revving it and trying to go faster so that will kill your mileage.
A 4 stroke engine will run better with less restriction in the exhaust system. I don't think a 1983 truck has any computer system so I doubt you will cause any problems.
You're driving a gas guzzling old pig and you worry about gas mileage? That's rich, I'd be more worried about the tickets you'll get for noise.
Nope, you will get better fuel mileage also
- Why would you think my 2008 Ford H 53 chassis Motor home engine randomly cut off and the ABS light come on? Ford Triton V10 when heading up a hill sometimes the engine will cut out and the ABS light on the dash comes on and goes out. The engine continues to run and we get home just fine. Seems like power is getting cut off or something.
- What is a good car that can hold 6-8 people and had good gas milage? I don't want a minivan. Right now I have a ford freestyle. I'm looking for under $5,000 and can get around to 40 miles per gallon
- Entire car loses power when we floor the gas. Gauges reset until we let off gas. (still drives) 02 ford mustang. The car loses power to everything. (Except what's needed for the vehichle to stay running.) Can still drive it. What are possible problems? (AC does not affect anything )
- What does taking the muffler off do? I have a 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. I was wondering what would it sound like if I took off the muffler? Would it be louder? Would it be a clean loud or nasty?
