I swapped my exhaust mounts the other day as some of them had perished clean in half causing the whole car to shudder at idle. In the process I broke a rusty weld on my rear muffler and it now rattles around like crazy, and has the typical blown exhaust sound!
Searching eBay, the cheapest option is to replace the rear section with a straight pipe without the muffler and I also like the idea of making it a bit louder as these are good sounding engines.
Would there be any downsides to doing this i.e. loss of fuel economy or torque?
Part is below. Original exhaust has a muffler between those two mount pins
