What other benefits would I get besides sound from my RSR muffler upgrade?

FAQ
Besides making the modification to make it sound better, I also go through the original factory muffler and make necessary repairs and touch up where the factory had missed. Since the mufflers are welded up with automated welding machines by the muffler manufacturer there are a lot of "missed" welds on the muffler. I make a practice of making touch up to these "missed' spots during the RSR muffler making process.

Do bigger muffler pipes alter sound? If so, how?

Borla Performance Industries - FAQs

We can absorb a certain amount of this sound by utilizing a longer muffler, but at some point this becomes both expensive and heavy. We often use XR-1? mufflers that are over 30" long for serious, Pro off-road trucks. This is double the length of our popular street car mufflers and almost three times longer than, say, a Corvette S-style system.

Do I use a gasket between the muffler and engine?

Frequently Asked Questions
No. I have found the gasket is just a source of problems later. They always seem to get a whole in it which causes an air leak and resulting engine adjustment problems.

Another alternative that I have not tried is to use epoxy as a gasket material.
