On the Turbo Charge Pipe, can you knock out the turbo muffler and not put a piece of pipe in?

What does putting the pipe to replace the muffler do, i really don't know much about this stuff. Is it because the larger diameter would cause the air to slow down in that spot or what. TIA

I think it would put a disruptive step in the flow path...>>>
And I'm not convinced the muffler does anything to impede performance. Like a resonator, it just controls noise..

Re: ok, thats what I thought. I think i'm gonna take it out and weld a piece in.
The silencer is quite brittle so you can chisel it out by snapping bits off it a piece at a time.
The best way I've found is to burn it out.

(excuse the weld spatter, I hadn't finished cleaning up)
This is what the stock one looks like:
