If the O2 sensors are too close to the open end of the collector, they will not read properly and you might actually go slower. Also if the noise reverberates off enough stuff it could make the knock sensors go a little haywire and pull some spark. Something to at least carry the exhaust gasses a little further from the O2 sensor before dumping to atmosphere as well as getting the noise a little further away from the engine (preferably something creating very little or even no backpressure) will be best...it'll keep the O2's and knock sensors happiest.

My cars are loud...but if you're not running 9's or 8's...there's NO need to be as loud as the cars that ARE running 9's or 8's...just makes you look like a poser and makes your car look like a shitbox. Loud because of no exhaust doesn't sound the same as loud because it's a badass engine WITH an exhaust.

running open headers is not ok... your going to roast your o2s...
xpipe with 1 chambers f t w..
you can get knock off 1 chamber race flomasters for right around 40 bucks.. sound just as good as the real thing.. and you can get an xpipe custom bent for about 200 bucks..
i have true 1 chamber race flowmasters.... also i have an ms4 cam, so mine is going to be louder than a stock internals car..
outside idle

also.. i saw where someone said get HEADS and a cam, to make your car louder.. if you buy heads to make your car louder, thats the biggest waste of money you will ever spend.. haha
also FWIW.. 1 chambers flow just as good as turn downs and/or a cutout or something like that... your talking 1 hp difference.. but the sound will be 10 times better, and much quieter inside the car while still be loud as ***** on the outside..

On my 2000 WS6 M6 i want to put turn downs on it that dump right before the rear end.
Will there be enough back pressure there?
Wut kind of bullet mufflers should i get if any?
Anything else i should be concerned of?
I have SLP LT's and SLP loud mouth 1 on it now, but its just not loud enough.

I have QTP longtubes, and TSP true duals with bullets dumped directly at the ground. It reverberates off of the ground and is loud as hell with the torquer V2 cam.
I have gotten compliments on it and one equipment violation ticket while driving normally so take that for what it's worth. If you want loud then a setup like mine will do it for you. I see myself going to a full exhaust in the future though as I am getting older and value my hearing.
It is funny to see kids looking out of the back window of their mom's car to see what's making the noise then have them flip out when you pass them at WOT in 3rd gear.
