I have NO muffler. I lost some bottom end but pick it back up on top. The nitrous LOVE the open exhaust and its not to loud. It costs you nothing to pull it off and test it out

I noticed a huge drop in low end when I pulled mine off and just ran the open y pipe. Don't know about up top cause I couldn't find anywhere to test it out.

i personally think it's a trade off. you lose bottom end but pick up on the top.
