I've been around a little four banger that had its muffler fall off, and it sounded like crap and gave me a headache. I can only imagine that a v8 would be that much louder.

I'm also not a big fan of noxious fumes in my car.

So the repercussions:
Headache
A ticket (or at least harassment)
And the good chance of inhaling exhaust for the duration of your trip

a nice v8 sounds badass with just the headers unlike a 4 cyl. but as for the fumes, they would suck ass bad. i knwo in my race car, you sit in the stagin lanes for more than a couple mins with the engine on and youll pass out!!!!!

Of course not look what youre running. Just post up a clip of what youre car sounds like and just multiply that by 2. Offroad pipes and LM1's are pretty much straight pipes back. I had the same set-up except with a X. It sounded horrible... i got rid of it. haha. IMO.

wtf


if you take the exaust off and not the headers, the flor pan will get relly hot and catch on fire! and if you got "shorty" headers the engine block will over heat and will catch something on fire i know i ahve been there and done that! :lala
