...why? I am genuinely sad for your neighbors and coworkers who have to hear this loud buzz and cackle out of an economy car. You should post this in the auto fails thread.

The only time it really gets loud is if you are stomping down on the gas.[thumb] If im driving around town normally then sound is not an issue. you can tell the difference between stock an the new pipes once you get to about 2.5k on the tach while accelerating hard. and this is 2.25" pipes not 2.5". youd need 2.5" if you had mufflers with baffles to get close to the same exhaust flow.
To those who are hattin, pleas dont. yes i can understand those who dont like the "Noise" of straight pipes but dont just go crazy and start sayin this is a fail cuz you dont like "Noise"[nono]. I like it and i paid for it and the car so you shouldnt be mad. Only my neighbors (whos room is right beside where i park my car) Should be mad.
No beef here guys just backing up my work[lockdance]

Haha I understand. like i said it doesn't sound like 12 stock cars running down the track. it only gets a bit loud when the peddle is to the floor. As long as i am driving like a normal person its just a low roar that i barely notice even with the windows down. i put straight pipes as a test to see if there is any difference MPG wise and its gotten a lil better but im most likey gonna put 2 resonators and a muffler back in the system. [like]all of them are gonna be straight through of course

LOL. Considerate human being. Have you driven anywhere ever? No one is considerate.
Besides, its not any of your guys car, and his cars noise doesn't affect you. Never understood why people try to preach their car opinion to people.

yeah youre right. I was mostly looking for constructive criticism though. and to answer your question probably like 3-5 people in the U.S. have straight pipes on their I-4's(this is a false statement!!!!) but hey to each their own.
i like my cars loud and proud. Some like their cars quiet and smooth. At the end of the day we all are driving focis[clap][loveff][clap]

Loud and proud? When your hearing goes south (deafness/tinnitus) remember these days.

Where is your data to back up your claim that a 2.25" exhaust without muffler flows the same as 2.5" with muffler? Measured velocity of both? Exhaust backpressure of both? Exhaust reversion at target rpm between the two? When someone makes a claim to performance, it needs to be substantiated with measured results and facts. This is how we separate the enthusiasts from the autozoniasts.
What most people see, is a 125whp car with an obnoxiously loud exhaust who thinks he's a race car.... Really no different than the honda crowd.

Yes, but it affects others. Why are you preaching to us not to give our opinion. It's a public forum.

False, most stock dynos show 150whp for MK3s and others show higher. Want proof? here you go http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=290655
I have the FSWERKS race exhaust and that is loud enough. Most people hate the sound of an uncorked 4 banger. You find people are much more tolerant of v8 pollution. Mine is boosted and all people ever see is a loud "fart can" econo-box. Haters gonna hate, but you shouldn't be making it easy for them.

Worst my bike (ninja 1000, 4 banger) sounds like a jar of bees at high rpm when straight... with a proper Akrapovic race exhaust... the sound is just right....
Straight is for track, offended or not [
