Best Answer

Having a free flow muffler will help improve fuel economy.

In most mufflers on the market the air flow is by having the exhaust air take two 180 degree turns u turns. This restricts the airflow and causes immense back pressure.

Having a straight through airflow muffler will improve mileage which is just like removing a muffler.

By removing a muffler there is reduction in weight and improvement in back pressure.

You may be cited for driving without a muffler, as it is required for noise control and pollution control.
