As 'Classico' says that the problem arose after replacing his muffler (silencer(?)) with a straight pipe, might this not be something as simple as altered back-pressure in the exhaust system causing the engine not to start?
If the car was running well before he did so and nothing else was changed, then that is the first place that I would look when attempting to identify the fault.
Regards, John.
