Default exhaust silencer magic trick??

So...Blitz Nur Spec R Full Header to Muffler Tip Exhaust...put it in, left the silencer in, this was around 3 months ago. I just took it off today and the pipe section of the silencer is...gone. The silencer housing looks a little cracked, would that mean the pipe broke off of the rest of the apparatus?! Meaning, there is a pipe somewhere in my exhaust system? I tried to reach my hand down as far as I could but nothing. I don't even really know what Im asking you guys. Has anyone heard of this before?

yeah man, it sounds like your boost is cutting short, meaning it's limited in some way. Probably its factory settings are keeping you from pushing it all the way to keep the engine safe. Just post up a thread and ClubLexus will tell.

Get a really bright flashligth down there. But you may have lost it permanently. Good luck.

It must have rusted and fallen out the back. If you don't hear rattling don't worry about it.

Famous last words

Thanks everyone, I got almost elbow length down the pipe (3 1/2" piping will let you do that) and nothing. Guess, since theres no rattling it's alright. I must say though, ever since I took the silencer out, the Vettes and the 350Zs have started looking in my direction a little bit deeper, so much for the sleeper look

theres no way it fell in and you cant hear it rattle
theres probably some pissed off person who was driving behind you who now has a silencer stuck in their radiator.. lol.
looks like it broke off that one weld spot.

Just call it a performance upgrade no big deal
