Open downpipe for a street car?
No.
My exhaust decided to take a vacation last Thursday leaving me with an open downpipe until my v-bands come in and I can find a shop to get it welded up. Fuck it's annoying. I can't imagine driving this thing on the highway for more than about 5 minutes. It's embarrassing too, people look at me on the street like I'm driving some shitty POS with a rusted-out exhaust. I really do like the diesel-esque whirring at low-rpm though. Conclusion: If you're considering running just an open downpipe on anything but a track-car, don't do it. |
Yeah, I'm running open downpipe until I can get my exhaust finished and it is ridiculously loud. The 5 min drive to work leaves me deaf:vash:

You guys are weak! I ran open down pipe for two years, it wasn't that bad.
|
I did it for a week or two, wasn't that bad during cruise.. WOT was insanely loud
I wish I could get the Whirring noise without the car being super loud... I love that noise |
I drove mine home 20 miles open down pipe on the freeway, and it wasn't bad. Although this morning I was headed to the muffler shop and a cop was in opposing traffic. I put in the clutch, and crossed my fingers. He was half a block away, and I engaged the clutch, he flipped a u-turn and headed straight for me. Luckly I was in front of the muffler shop and ditched in his drive way just in time for the cop to give me dirty look. :D

Some of you guys are making me worried here...I plan on running open when I get the car turbo'd (finally) in the next month or so. Guess I'll have to get a shop to put on a resonator or something since I don't want to pony up for a full exhaust just yet.
|
If you are really worried about it you can listen to mine, although I can't drive the car..
|
If you just run pipe out the back it will make a great deal of difference. Open DP is definitely not fun, but just not running a muff is very manageable.
|
I had an open DP the first couple days with the turbo bolted on...terrible. I got pulled over the first time out because of the noise :giggle:

The thing about your story that pisses me off is that you drive through my small town [A bedroom community of Birmingham] on a pretty day and you can't swing a cat around without knocking some dude off a Harley and some of those things are so loud you can hear them for miles away. I have never seen a cop giving any of those guys tickets. |
