I "gutted" all three stages of baffle on my '06 America. The added power response is shocking. I didn't even re-jet. I took the stock muffler and cut it in half, popped out all three baffles. Then, I removed about 8" of the main muffled pipe and clamped the stock muffler tip end back with a stainless strap from a trucking company. It is just so good to me. I like the volume, and the added power. I plan more changes, and I look to save money, always.
