Well, I decided to do something crazy before I leave for the army.

Notice how the tip looks just like any old pipe?

Well, it pretty much is. For $165 at a local muffler shop, I had a guy make this strait pipe after my catalitic converter.

I must remind you that this isnt a Honda so my backpressure isnt too picky. I did not notice any performance increase or decrease, just a louder exhaust sound. Reminds me of a trumpet to tell you the truth.
By the way, I hate those stupid noisy ass Hondas and Toyotas and Mazdas, just the noise is irritating.
Oh, the other day some guy pulled up next to me in a Dodge Ram Pickup with extended cab yadda yadda yadda it was raised as well. They revved at me. I thought that was sorta funny because nobody really revved at me before. So I revved back and they seemed surprised, asked if it was a v8, i simply raised my left hand with 4 fingers and they were even more shocked. Then they wanted to race and i smoked them anyways.
These cars were not built for extreme acceloration or incredibly high top speeds. They were built to handle, and handle they do.
