not to jack this guys thread or anything but while on the topic of running straight pipe and no mufflers

how loud is it in the car goin down the highway?

 

I run it open all the time, one the highway it's going to be a little quieter when DOD engages, but I'm sure it's still louder than normal. It's hard for me to make a judgment since I've gotten used to it. But yeah there probably is a little cabin noise. But again, mine is dumping at the Y whereas if you run straight pipes it will be more out the back.

 

i was just wondering debating on what i wanna do for exhaust and dont want it to be super loud when driving on the highway

 

Well super loud is subjective, but no, I don't think mine is super loud. It's loudest at idle and low rpm

 

I also agree that 'super loud' is pretty subjective. I can only speak of my experience with my cutout (which is obviously going to be louder inside the car since it dumps right beneath it)- but when I drove across country (about 30 hours)- I only had it open maybe an hour or two tops; I couldn't stand hearing the roar for that long. Now driving back and forth to work (about 30-40 minutes, mostly highway), there are some days I leave it open the whole way- even for days; but I still think it would be too much to have to listen to every single day.

Obviously everyone has their own tolerance level- but personally, I wouldn't want to have to listen to the thing straight piped every day on the highway.

 

hahaha...i wish my video camera wouldnt be stupid...i would put up a vid of my dads camaro with straight pipes...probably blow your speakers tbh

 

i realize that it pry cant get super loud i was kinda exaggerating a little but its pretty hard to tell exactly how loud it is on youtube vids of ppl in their driveway and i'm just trying to get an idea of how much louder it is than stock

 

I always thought they sounded like a helicopter when DOD engages?

 

well...i just had a breakthrough with my camera...here be the vid in my driveway lol...i have one more, it will take awhile to get...but yeah...its a lot better than this one
