[astatcamry956]

i removed my muffler not that long ago, i notices i kinda burn thru gas a lil bit faster...

It's because you like the cool new noise and run it a little harder to hear more of the noise. Grow up and put the muffler back on.

its not the 1st time i do this, also i dont run any harder to hear the "cool noise" it actually sounds nice on a V6 nd i still drive the same,

I do believe that.... Removing mufflers and expanding car exhaust systems is/was a way to increase HP by reducing some of the post ignition pressure required by the engine. In effect depending on the car there is some engine power going to the exhaust... Now though you might think this will increase fuel burn... Actually some of the back pressure in the engine and the potential other design criteria mean that the engine may not be properly calibrated anymore and you will burn more gas.

mufflers are not that expensive ... just get a new one from autozone or napa and put it on ... running without a muffler is just ridiculous ... and very annoying to all neighborhoods you pass through ...

Save that shit for the track, and put the damn muffler back on. If you can't keep your car safely maintained, you shouldn't be driving it.
