240D muffler removal a good idea?
is it ok to remove and replace the muffler with a pipe on a 81 240D?

It will get louder, is that ok? Turbo diesels are different, because the turbo acts as a noise dampener. My car is no louder without the muffler.

You could keep the resonator and install a cherry bomb. It will act like a muffler for a while then as it packs with soot it will become a straight pipe but still be legal under the law.

My suggestion is to do what I plan on doing. Cutting open the muffler and cutting/pulling out the baffles.

the reason i was asking is the outlet on the muffler got ripped off and instead of buying a new muffler to replace it, just make the exhaust strait to the resonator in the rear with no muffler.

You probably wont like how loud it will get. But you may for a few days.

The resonator does a hell of a lot to keep things quiet. When I put my glass pack on I fired it up just to see what it sounded like with out a muffler. I was astonished how quiet it was.
