HP lose with a silencer

I have a Skunk2 N1 CBE. I'm a little concerned with the noise level it produces. If I installed the silencer, how easily removable is it? and How much noise does it bring down? And how much power lose will I get from adding a silencer?

Installing your silencer pretty much almost means going back to stock muffler and exhaust tip since it closes off much of the rear chamber.
It'll probably be a bit rumblier than stock but should be pretty subtle. As for how hard it is to remove/install, it depends on what model and how much exhaust hash has developed on it.

Are they usually something I'd have to remove the whole CBE for in order to install em? Or are they usually something you just pop out of the CBE?

Cool, so I guess I'll install/uninstall when needed as so.
