yes take out the rear resonator and put a straight through pipe in place of it, but i wouldn't bother, as a low compression means your motor is on its way out, usually from rings been worn, or a blown head gasket. either way a bit work is required. So concentrate on that first.

well the low compression started from about 6 days ago, it became noticable that the car wasnt runnig good... well i guess if the engine goes, ill just turn my x-taxi into a sleeper, just a 355 in and off we go...hahah

but lets say i was going to fix this compression issue, how much would it set me back, and the car is factory gas aswell???

Your cheapest and best option being an ex taxi, would be a new engine.

??? a 355 ???

Spend some money and do your motor and the exhaust note will change then. If you still want it deeper then do something then
