muffler

I put on a 40.00$ muffler off of ebay just to replace the old rusty one. But it is very loud without the silencer and too quiet with it in . Will shortening the silencer tube make it a little louder. Or will drilling holes that are about an eighth of an inch in the plate make it louder because i've seen something similar to that in a neon before

just leave the silencer on.. if you drill it will probably make it sound even ricier...

to answer your question yes shorting the tube will make it louder
