Muffler Offsets
I'm an old fart, so I don't expect a young punk like you to have much regard for my opinion, but I will tell you this... I grew up back when cars with REAL motors were still available for cheap. I've torn down and rebuilt more engines than you'll probably own in your life.
There's a big difference between a nice 3" dual exhaust system on a '71 426 Hemi Barracuda and a fart cannon on a little '01 4 banger Honda.
You don't get what that difference is. I do. In my mind, that makes you pretty well clueless. (Here's a hint... You want your "loud exhaust" to sound good? It starts with having a motor that sounds good...)
You want to win this argument? Just tell me this. What performance benefit will you get from that muffler compared to one that is a little bit quieter (and probably sounds better, too)?

I just know for the sake of your safety, you best not be hitting WOT down the neighborhood at 6 in the morning.
If it were me and you woke my kid up, I'd shove my foot so deep up your *** you'd be fartin to the same tune of your muffler.
Inconsiderate is the word of the week for you, and maybe some time soon you'll grow up.
Until then, I believe your question has been answered.
There's a high school kid here in town who used to have some nice loud exhaust on his little rice burner, and loved to tear around town at WOT before school every day.
He now has a nice, quiet muffler on his car.
I hear through the grapevine that he also has a brand new windshield.... Not exactly sure why he needed that... Not really my concern, I guess... Just something I heard...

alright NorEastBeast23 im going to pipe up here because im much closer to your age, and understand what the old farts are trying to say here. All they are trying to tell you is that a loud exhaust is NOT the best idea, especially for the way that you probably drive (im going to say you drive similarly to how i did when i first got my license). you WILL be pissing off alot of people with the exhaust, and you will most likely get a ticket for it (around here at least there are laws which limit the volume of the exhaust, they are usually not enforced, however if you attract enough attention they will be). The better way to go is something that sounds GOOD (not the same as loud) and can be controlled, so that if you want it loud you can get on the gas and let it get loud, but at the same time stays at a respectable volume when you are driving around tow.
the story w/ the jackass w/ the rice rocket in the previous post, my guess is he drove around in the morning and woke someone up too many times bc of his LOUD exhaust, the guy finally got fed up with up and was waiting for the dumbass punk one morning, put either a stone or a bullet through the windsheild, if you want to meet the same fate then go ahead and be loud (and extremely stupid) if not, then wise up and get something that sounds good.
btw, im 20, so do NOT go telling me im an old fart, im just smarter than most my age.
with the build you have there, i dont believe that sipping is the right word for it, but if you insist . . .

Now, now... This story could be just fantasy. even Corey said he heard about it, he didn't actually see what hapenned. Just speculation. No threats or promises were implied or given. Just a made-up story, an allegory, if you will, to try to impress a point. The young lad may have changed his mind and gotten a less obnoxious muffler and a new windshield because he got a chip while driving on the hiway and he chip developed into a crack? Both things could be purely coincidental. Who knows? Thus endith the lawyerly content.
Lmfao!.....

Ya, I'm one of those old farts as well, and I tell ya it wouldn't be the first time I've seen......Well that I've heard of......People having to fix their cars because they were obnoxious.
Now if it's a good mello-grunty sound that actually sounds good and not like a ricer with a bottomed out suspension and a coke can affixed to the muffler.....Well then you actually have something to talk about and be proud of, versus having an old farts foot so far up your *** that it brakes off and you have to have it surgically removed before it rots.
