removing the muffler decreases backpressure. this will effect the performance. It may give a slight boost in the high rpms but will hurt the power on the bottom end where you use it most. too much to write to explain exactly why

if your looking to increase efficiency removing the muffler will not help....with out some more info it's kinda hard to get you some hard answers...most engines are tuned with a certain amount of back pressure and the exhaust being intact is necessary...a performance muffler would help but it depends what exactly your looking for.....improving the cold air intake would make a big difference....good luck

Some engines actually run worse losing back pressure on the exhaust system...
Some engines will breath better with a less constricted exhaust system...
Some will not change one way or the other.. just becoming unbearably noisy...

The only that will increase will be the noise.

It won't make a difference.
