Do you need exhaust flanges?
Even though exhaust flanges are a small part of the exhaust system, they are essential to the system functioning properly. Without the correct flange, or even a well built flange, your car’s exhaust system may be compromised. The performance of your vehicle will be compromised if there is a leak in the exhaust system.
Can I take off my exhaust pipe?
The exhaust system up to the muffler is what is responsible for proper engine and emissions performance. The muffler’s only job is to muffle the sound of the engine as it is amplified through the exhaust pipe. With that said, you should be able to remove the muffler without any loss of power or major issues.
Does length of exhaust pipe affect performance?
Pipe length determines the engine’s ability to regulate the oil, air, and other residues after each exhaust cycle. If the pipe is lengthened to suit the engine better, then the negative pressure will lower the valve’s pressure and help regulate the combustion gases.

The main job of the muffler is to silence the noise created by an internal combustion engine. Without it, the vehicle will rev more loudly like a racing car. A muffler delete system (or simply the process of removing the muffler/mufflers) will make the vehicle sportier to drive courtesy of the louder exhaust sound.
Is a longer exhaust pipe better?
Exhaust pipes are made bigger to allow better exhaust flow. This is important for increased performance and horsepower (not for the sound). Instead, aftermarket exhaust also equips a less restrictive muffler – which is responsible for the much louder sound.
What happens if toilet flange is broken?
A toilet flange has a metal or plastic ring that holds the toilet to the floor, and when the ring breaks, it can render the toilet unusable.
