Opening muffler/stack
I have heard some pretty bizarre rumors about destroying the internal baffles via droping batterya down the stack(to heat and expolde) or pouring gasoline and lighting to gain the same effect. These "myths" are used to create that open exhaust/freight train sound. Anyone tried or heard of these or think they are safe or even possible. THX mc

That is more likely to split your exhaust down the seams than simply remove the baffles. If you want straight pipes then buy straight pipes. If you simply want it loud then unhook the exhaust between the turbo and muffler, you might want to buy some earplugs first. :roll:

I have an "open" walker muffler on my rig.
It's quiet!
You could drop a grapefruit straight down that muffler.

:shock: :? :roll: Oh really?
Bottom line, your asking about a way to destroy company equipment. If the company wanted straight pipes, they would have spec'd the truck that way. Wait until you have your own truck and then you can alter/destroy all you want.

Too funny,
I'll give you credit for asking first about the.... myths.
And No, don't do any of this stuff. And if you hear anymore....myths or rummors ? better ask here first.
