MUFFLER CUTOUT
OF SMALL VALUE
Autom obile Expert Declares Device
viii Soon be Obsolete
Most Cities Prohibit
Use.

The police have been securing eyi-
doence recently against speeders
and automobile drivers running with
out lights, but they are also ready ~
grab motorists who use the opes
rnuffler. There has been much dis
cussion az to the vaIce Of the nuffler
cutout, but It Is practically agreed
now that It's value Is very small.
The motor expert of the Chicago
Tribune has the following TO say OF
the value Of the muffler cutout in an.
swer 70 q query as to its practical
use:
The only effect the rnuffIer cutout
has Ia 70 slightly relieve the back
pressure On the motor. This pres
sure amounts 70 about 3 per cent.
This little additional power might
be useful on a steep hill, but would
not he noticeable on the level. By
using the cutout one is enabled to
listen to the explosions and see II
they follow regular sequence. But
the cutout, on account Of its hideous
noise. is considered a nuisance. Most
cities prohibit its use and few max
ers use the device, which soon will
be obsolete.
