Hi KRAM36,

this is not a muffler, this is a resonator. And to be exact a Helmholtz resonator. It enhances the acoustic of the engine by reducing oscillations in intake sounds at high rpm. Makes the engine sound more deep and throaty without aggressive peaks at these rpms. Also it optimizes the resonance / air flow. So i would not recommend to remove this part.

Regards from germany
Markus
