    It'll give you a bit more of a note down low, but if your exhaust has the flexi pipe you'll get a loud whistle out the exhaust at higher rpm, people will mistake your car for a low flying 747. If you're going to delete the rear muffler, you'd better delete that as well. All that aside, removing the rear muffler should have zero negative effect on the workings of everything else.

    it will sound louder as the muffers do exactly that, muffle the sound. wont be a problem as camstatic said on any negative effects. it just might sounds shit, might!

    The main question is why are you toying with the idea of removing it? what are you trying to achive?

    The rear one is called a resinator, I`d thought I`d throw that in learning FTW.
