The crappiest exhaust system system you've ever heard.....

[Cranky]

Probably been done before but here it is again.....the dang new Mudstains with the factory cutouts is what I hate. I'm guessing it's factory since someone told me it was and I hear it soooo freaking much. Nasty nasty and I thought Flow Bastards were bad (20 years ago everyone had them bastards). Geez. Give me straight pipes over this garbage any day and I'll never complain about flows again!

Souped up 4 banger Hondas are horrible.

Some modified Hardly Davidson bikes. Yes, that was intentional. lol

 

[eldubb440]

my friends v10 truck sounds like a v6

 

[DeltaV]

All V6 sound terrible, but a flat six is superb.

 

[WileE]

There's nothing... NOTHING... like the sweet sound of a good OLD American V8.

It seems like I’ve always lived in areas with a lot of noise.
Growing up I lived near an airbase and also the approach path of one busy runway at O Hare.
The military stuff gave me goosebumps! The O Hare planes were sometimes irritating.
I live pretty close to a busy train line now, mostly commuter trains and some freight. Doesn’t bother me. Even when the house shakes slightly when a train is passing.
And theres a busy intersection by me where one 4 lane road parallels the tracks.
There’s always some car, truck or bike noise that irritates me a lot.
-straight pipe harleys
-fart can tuners
- Jake brake equipt trucks, rare here except for a local towing company whose drivers are very proud of the Jake brake on their kenworth roll off.
-late model mustangs which have exhausts that sound like a raspy double fart can.
-woofers with the volume turned up to 11 playing rap while at that intersection near me.
-and the latest and perhaps the most irritating car noise of all I’ve ever endured, modified to constantly backfire!! Who thought that up and why is it cool??

I beg to differ. My 89 Turbo Trans Am sounds nice.

 

[zyzzyx]

Those Subaru's that sound like they are running with two dead cylinders bothers me!

 

[68-500]

Hate mustangs, cameros, any motorcycle without some sort of baffling. Ill take a jake brake every day and twice on Sunday.

A high school friend had a six cylinder Maverick. He put some money in the motor and it had a four barrel with split tri-y headers into dual exhaust. I don't know what the mufflers were. You could hear it, but it wasn't loud. We with v8 cars looked sideways at it, but I have to admit that it did sound good and ran strong. It sounded more like a v8 than a 6.

So. Guy has a 383, not a racer. Hops up the engine, takes it to track when we have non points racing. Car has to be street legal. So he runs it. Someone suggests headers. He doesn’t want to spend that amount of money to have possible starter mounting problems, and clanging and banging. So he purchases cutouts. Installs them, goes to the track and has fun on Street Legal night.
This person male or female only wants to have fun. Get to know people.
My wife raced her 85 stick Supra, very low mileage. Just to see how she could do. Won’t mention names, wasn’t me, a family member rode with her. Didn’t inform her that she didn’t need to be in 4th gear through the quarter.
We still don’t discuss that today, might have been 20 or more years ago.

The soup can ricers. When did farts supposed to sound good?

 

[DeltaV]

I beg to differ. My 89 Turbo Trans Am sounds nice.

Most of the irritating exhaust harmonics were absorbed by the turbo.

I liked my SLP Loudmouths on the SS until they started popping when I let off the throttle. Not my car but the same exhausts. It's really just straight pipes with some pinches. I never liked Flowmasters. I do like Magnaflows on the 408 Challenger. Here's a very cold start.

Totally agree. They're everywhere around here. Very annoying to say the least.

Also the modified exhaust on diesel pickups, especially Ferds!

Many many years ago I tuned the exhaust on a lawnmower using a bath tap in place of the muffler.

Hot water only?

Hot water only?

No...but the valve body got real hot and real fast.

 

[khryslerkid]

This is what it sounds like around here sometimes.
