When I gutted my GTS Mufflers, I had to cut off the tips to get them to
point out straight so they would fit under my L Bumper. When I cut them, the
baffles slipped right out. That still leaves the two pipes with all the
holes in them that are inside the muffler and come out the back that the tips
go over. I'm guessing that removing these pipes and enlarging the holes
slightly would get back a lot more of the HP from a regular gutted GTS Muffler.
You'd then have to weld on the tips but overall it would not be all that
more difficult.
I attached a picture that only Mike will get.

>>>With this in mind, the factory ANSA mufflers including the GTS
mufflers are a bit of a disaster, due to the small inside diameter of
the resonator tips. The muffler itself might flow fine, but the
resonators act like big corks. My car is plenty powerful enough at the
moment, but if I ever found myself wanting more, I'd probably go
shopping for aftermarket tips to weld onto the back of my ANSA mufflers
in place of the factory tips. A same-size outside diameter with a much
larger inside diameter would be just the ticket for greatly improved
flow.
