The back ground."

Wouldn't work on these stock mufflers.
first off, the stock muffler has so much more mass that high enough temps couldn't be reached.
Secondly, more often than not, stock mufflers become restricted because the fiberglass lining the inside of the muffler body becomes saturated with oil. Enough oil, that once the muffler reaches a certain temp, the oil starts giving off fumes effectively choking the exh. flow.
Carbon or oil, there are two options to try and salvage a stock muffler.
One, cut the muffler body in half[about 2/3 rd.s of the way back] and using an acetylene torch to burn out the oil/carbon. This is a really messy, smokey job that can take hr.s.
Or two, if you can deal with a little more noise, give the muffler a "steel enema". I used to use a 14" long 5/8th" drill in a big two-handed motor and drill the muffler lenght-wise from the butt end. Much, much easier.

Is this actually dangerous?
And are you sure on that this wouldnt work on a stock pipe? ie my 87 spree pipe

All the way though the two chambers inside the the muffler[It's really not a "pipe"].
I used a big two-handed drill motor.
