what are you trying to achieve with your car and how "d*ck-ish" are the cops around you?

ok well the cops around here are chilled..i just want to know, that if i do straight pipe, sound isnt the only thing i acheive. id like to see a noticiable difference in WOT at around 100mph atleast(if anything performance wise). Sound isnt the only thing im goin for. If there isnt a worth while increase performance wise, and all ill get is sound, then im just gonna leave it how it is.

youre not going to get much of actual performance. if you do a header and then an exhaust then you can see some gains. most of the time though you make more power in the high engine rpm but trade it for a loss in lower engine rpm....and i assume you dont drive at WOT all the time.

our cars are so heavy that an exhaust will not be really felt. if you grab an s13 and do a header and an exhaust then thats a bit different story.

Exhaust wont give you more off the line power... you will FEEL like your going faster cause its so much louder !!

this is what i did to my exhaust.
