- no one really wants to ride with you because it's obnoxious
- you can't sneak out of your house or to a chick's place at night
- your girlfriend has to plug her ears to talk on the phone
- you just want to drive and not deal with fuck wits trying to race you or fuck with you as you are cruising along
...all of that gets old fast and a little disheartening.
Some people dig that sort of shit and live it forever, I just grew out of it.
I get it if this isn't your DD, and you only drive it for fun, or if you solely autox/track/drag it.
For something you will be living with day in and day out, it's best to just get an exhaust that has minimal/no drone in the cabin, isn't stupid loud when you're just cruising along, and sounds great when you actually start getting on the throttle. |
Quoted for truth. I once drove to work with a coworker who had a straight piped Evo X. It was awful. I felt like my brain was numb like 10 minutes into the drive. That was the big driving force for me to get something that's tame while cruising, but still makes some noise under WOT.
