  • Open exhaust (NO muffler OR resonator) *video*

    So I was bored and wasn't really feeling like diggin into the TB/Upper project yet. So I thought... let's take apart my exhaust for NO reason. So, I removed the following piece. This piece connects the Y-pipe to the resonator.



    So with that out, I started the engine. There are only two words that can describe the sound this made upon turning the ignition to ON.... holy... shit. It is horribly loud, very deep too, sounds like a small V8.. seriously. I was just going to start it, listen the pop the pipe section back in... after hearing this ridiculous rumble (which btw did NOT impress my sleeping girlfriend at 2 am) I absolutely, positively, HAD to drive this thing.

    So I grab my camera.

    The verdict: I was not impressed. It sounds HORRIBLE. It is SO loud you can't hear ANYTHING else. The camera doesn't convey how deep it is, but it does capture the raspy nastiness. Also, the car is noticeably slower.

          I think it was a ploy to wake her up. "Honey now that you're up...."

                          HELL NO! I put it back on as soon as I got home. Seriously it was horrendous. I knew it would suck total ass but I just had to hear it. And no, I most certainly did NOT get any for that stunt But hey my neighbors hate me now, so at least I don't have to worry about that whole "being friendly" thing.

                            This reminds me of the old days. Back in the late 70's when cruising was very popular in Dallas and street racing was at it's peak. It was not uncommon to pull over on the side of the road and change out an intake manifold or swap out a carburator etc. etc.

                            Well, I had bought this Chevelle for like $1000.00 and went out cruising. Ran into a buddy of mine that said he had a pair of headers we could bolt on. And we did just that, on the side of the road. (open Headers) At first, we were both fighting over who got to drive it, but after about an hour we were so worn out from the noise that neither of us wanted to drive the damn thing, rather needed both hands free to hold them over our ears. That was the last time I drove a car with open headers.
                            Today that much noise gets you a citation
