I believe that RX7Carl addressed this in another thread. Evidently if you don't use a collector you will lose power because the pulses don't get combined properly before entering the muffler.

The muffler would make a terrible collector. Dont do it. You'll lose all of your scavenging effect.

Also what kind of muffler? They are designed to flow in one direction.
