It's pretty fun eh? I had mine off for 3 days last month, what a blast. The best part is the pedestrians..alot of them have this great dumbfounded/confused look on their face when they hear it. You just know that their brains are telling them that something that loud should be alot larger than a tiny sportscar. I want an electric exhaust dump so I can have it at will, unfortunately, I'm not willing to cough up 200 bucks to get one.

I drove mine to the muffler shop with only a pace-setter header attached... the noise and vibration nearly shook my teeth out! The kids on the corner thought it was pretty cool when fire would shoot out as I blew past them, though.

Yeah when I first start my car next week after completing the motor swap, I thing I'll do it with just an open exaust manifold. I cant wait to see the look on my autoshop teacher's face.

So exacty how loud is this going to be?

Thats how I drive my car around all the time.....but, its not a header, its the stock collector on my car.

My exhaust blew up from the 1st cat after the manifold back.

Its funny for a day......but then its just ridiculously annoying, to the driver AND anyone within 5 blocks of the car.

I threw a $17.99 muffler from Pep Boys on what was left of the exhaust pipe directly after the first cat, just so I have somewhat of a chance to drive past a cop without being pulled over.

.....I actually heard a modified exhaust 1st gen driving down the street the other day, and was shocked on how weak it sounded, compared to my car. Especially since I was near the local Muscle Car hangout.....and all my muscle car friends were like "Please don't tell me your car sounds like that......hahahaha"

Thank random explosions and Pep Boys....it doesn't.
