Default Exhuast Question??

Is anyone on here running straight pipes out the back. I just noticed today that my old flowcrap has a crack in one of the outlet pipes. I figured i might just make a nice straight pipe setup out the back untill i can get a new exhaust. Is anyone running straight pipes are they way to loud or ok for regular driving.

running the pipe without a muffler is def loud but ive noticed as long as your not dumping under the car or on the drivers side its ok. you just have to turn the radio up a bit more and avoid long road trips.

DYNOMAX BULLETS are a LT1's best friend. Just spend 30 bucks and get a bullet.
