question on whether i should remove my muffler

Im sure this question has been asked quite a bit, but i dod alot of googling and couldn't find tue answer i was looking for. I don't have a whole lot of money at the moment and ive heard the RX-8 sounds great without a muffler. I figured this would be the best way to get a great sound without spending any money. My questions are, 1: Does it hurt the motor. 2: is there power loss. Ive heard different answers on that one. 3: where would i make the cuts? Ive heard you cut where the pipes merge into one. I just want to clarify that. Thank you

This is the DIY section. This section is for when you have a set of instructions to post.

Rather than moving this however, I'm just closing it and then moving it.

An uncorked rotary is ear bleedingly loud. It's not cool loud. It's "I want everyone around me to hate me, including cops, friends, family, chicks, and anyone else that could possibly have influence on me" loud...

See the 2nd thread in my sig regarding mods, there is a section in there about exhaust stuff.
