silencer blocks air..less hp?

hi i have a full catback tsudo fireball and i tend to put on and take off the silencer pretty often..when its on, its obvious its not letting as much air out so does that mean im not getting fullpotential power?

Thats correct. Because you are restricting the air flow.

Try getting another catalyst converter welded on. When I got my magaflow cat-back the guy who put it on said that someone before had him put on the same exhaust system and he thought it to be too quite so he had the muffler man take off the catalyst converter so it would be louder. He asked if I wanted to do the same but I liked it the way it was. You might want to try out magnaflow catalyst converter and just weld that one on.

A glasspack would sound so gross.

It would be quieter if you got another resonater put on.

just leave the silencer in unless you're racing, it wont make enough of a difference to be worth it to leave it out
