Yeah, I raced a guy with a 93 or 94 Dakota with V8 that was running
only pipe back from the cat, no muffler at all. It sounded like crap
when he stepped on it. My Gibson setup sounds a lot better.
I spanked the guy pretty good at one light and we ended up next to
each other at the next light. After hearing his truck wail and moan,
all I could think was "Great, every cop in a one-mile radius is going
to hear it when we take off and *I'm* going to be the one getting the
ticket."
How did I know he was running no muffler? He rolled down his
passenger window and yelled "You should take off your muffler and run
straight pipe!" Yeah, whatever.
I spanked him twice with the factory exhaust in place on my truck.
I'd never run without a muffler on the street. It just like painting
"give me a ticket" on the side of your truck. :^)
my two cents....
