Default How driveable is your front bumper exit exhaust?

How loud/driveable are your guys front bumper exit turbo kits?

I am thinking a 4" pipe with a 5" slash cut tip in front of the front tire.

I would like to exit the bumper to keep the pipe a 4" and not have to reduce it at all to get through the K member.

Thanks guys

If you really drive your car, don't do it. If its a weekend car, go for it.

Its loud and gets old quick. Yes if your going to shows its fine but if you want to have a nice cruise look into running an exhaust out the back. Some cams will make the car much quieter without a doubt but i know with mine its extremely loud and a few of my neighbors hate it. If you want to run it out the front get an electric cutout and have both exhausts so that way you can adjust it for what you feel like dealing with Lol

It pretty loud with an open dp. I have ran the car around like this and put the exhaust back on it quickly. I guess the older I get the quieter I like my cars.

I took my 4" all the way to the axle. I figure if something breaks, I'd rather not have oil coming out anywhere that's going to get under either set of tires..TThat gets sorta scary at the speeds we're taking these cars.
