Hey guys while doing the brakes on my newly acquired 93 i found that the rear mufflers are rotted out and have holes in them (they dump under the rear bumper) or are they the silencers? I wont be able to do the exhaust on her for a couple more months because i want to redo the entire exhaust when i do it. Should i just cut them off to let it flow better or just leave them on and wait? I don't see how having holes that far back in the exhaust would hurt performance , if it doesn't, i don't really need to cut them off. Would i benefit from cutting them off other than sound? Thanks

You dont want to cut the mufflers off and have the exhaust simply "end" under the car.
it'll be loud.. and you'll have the risk of carbon monoxide getting drawn into the cabin.
having holes in your mufflers "that far back" in the exhaust system wont hinder performance by any measurable means.
With that said.. if you have holes in the mufflers you are still vunerable to Carbon Monoxide entering the cabin, as mentioned above.
IF you cut the mufflers off.. make sure you extend the exhaust pipe to atleast 1.5 inches to the rear of the bumper cover.

Amen! Not to mention the Black soot all over everything back there.
