I want to see how my car would sound if I got a muffler delete and I know you can just disconnect the muffler. Are there any certain tools I need or is it just screws? And can I leave it disconnected for a day or two to see how I like it? Or is that unsafe having a pipe disconnected hanging off?

Looking at the service manual, it looks like the muffler would stay put. However there is nothing holding up the exhaust pipe near the muffle so I imagine that would sag and possibly drag along the ground.

And they there would be the risk of damage going in reverse is the pipe is sagging.

Personally, I would not do it.

I see. I was thinking of hanging the pipe with wires by the flanges so that it wouldn't hang and drag so low, just enough to keep it up but having it disconnected.

This is a stupid idea. You will melt many things. Don't do it.

I did this out of curiosity, just to see what it sounded like. Just two bolts, muffler stays in place but the pipe will hang so if you were to drive you would need to zip tie it somewhere. I just did a cold start and rev. Wouldn't recommend driving for too long unless you're confident that everything is secure down there
