Doesn't do much for law enforcement, either ... vibration in the car and sound ... after awhile, you might get tired of it, as well. But, then again, you might not. Good luck with it. I have seen on the Dr, Gas website, if you dig in the site, there are some 2" all the way up to 6" wide lfat square piping with X and H pipes, as well which are flat ...little bit pricey, but it would solve any clearance problems you might risk with round tubing. If you're lowered, I wouldn't even think about side pipes.

Trans Am at 17 years old and you're dad's a dick? I think not. Maybe he just wants you to do it right. Half the mods my kid does to his car(s) fall off on the highway (air bags, driveshafts, oil, my f***ing tools, ect.) so I know what Im talking about. I could really go on and on about this......

search for side exit, boom tube any posts by NataSS Inc
as he is the originator of the design, and personally my favorite, of the BoomTube on 4th gens.

search is a great friend for this instance. I've found hundreds of threads. Too hard to link them all, just do an advanced search in the external section..

Man you sound like a right spoilt little brat. Grow up or bugger off.

Some off us have to work for our money not have it handed over on a silver platter!

Aside from the other posts, do you pay for the car? If not, you have no reason to bitch at all. Your father just doesn't want you getting into more trouble, or getting more tickets.
However, if you are paying for the car, insurance, all bills associated with it, I can see some reasoning to you doing some things on your own ground, but you still live under his roof, so there in lies more reasoning to him telling what you can and can't do. Either way he deserves more respect than you coming on a public forum and calling him a "dick" because he isn't allowing you to do what you would like to.
Its part of life.

In this kid's defense, my old truck was in my dad's name until I was 20, because when I bought it(new) I was 16, and couldn't get a loan at that time. It was in his name until I could afford to pay the tt&l for the title transfer. I still made every payment on that damn thing myself.

well if he is really paying his parents back for it and is paying them back per their agreement than i would say its his car. What i mean per agreement is that if they said they wanted 250 a month till its paid and he is paying it and not missing a payment to buy a new exhaust.... Some parents like mine (im 28 now and on my own,talking about my past) hold things like that over their kids heads and always use it to their advantage to get their kids to do stuff and dont let it go untill its paid back. Dont know his situation and if his parents are really being dicks or he is the dick.
