that's how a muffler reduces noise, by restricting the exhaust flow. Therefore, the ascending pistons meet more pressure in attempting to push the exhaust gas out, sapping power. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />


True but IIRC not enough back pressure also saps power. Not sure why though since race vehicles often run very short pipes. Perhaps it's a torque thing or a hp vs rpm thing. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Anyhow I have the same problem I use 3 band clamps to hold it in place. I haven't had time to drill it out and use a nut and bolt yet but I think that will be my next course of action. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
