thats a pretty good idea

i could keep my over axle pipe but cut it.

the only problem would be it hanging and it would rattle even more

 

take it to deer park muffler theyl do it the right way. none of this hanging /rattling pipe stuff you speak of!

 

ok, i'll go on wendsday

 

sure is

 

thats not true, my car was inspected in May and it passed, didn't have to do any bribing or anything.

 

There is another thread on this I think. I dont think its illegal because a roush mustang(not the new ones well the new ones may but like the 2000-2004 modles) has side exhaust but it is aimed out and not under the car if that makes a difference.

I didn't read all the responses so it's probably already been said, but in the State of Texas it isn't Illegal to dump your exhaust, but you will get a noise ticket if you get pulled over and have trouble passing inspection.

I had dumps on my 85 Ranger and it was past the passenger cabin (legal) but got me a couple of noise tickets. It also cost a little extra to get it to pass inspection

 

Thats what makes the difference. It exits out past the passenger compartment and not under the vehicle.

 

i got mine before rear axle. i got no fumes..

 

Even if dumped out the side, lets say it's under the doors, can the fumes be noticable?

What causes the fumes, lack of converters?

 

the fumes aren't what's the big deal. it's the carbon monoxide that your engine emits when it is running. carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, and you don't know it's there until it's too late. that is the reason it's the law that your exhaust must exit out from under the passenger compartment of the vehicle. it may sound cool, but it's unsafe as hell. you can get loud enough exhaust that's legal

on a side note, a friend of mine dumped his exhaust before the rear axle (actually he cut it off and left it pointing straight at the axle), and the heat burned up his rear end. just something to think about also

 

i ended up dumping it after the axle
