I had open 3" dp under the car for awhile . It sounded awesome and wasn't that loud imo.

 

i have a 3" downpipe back to the transmission with a turndown and it sounds beastly, love it

 

ran it for about a year and a half, its very loud but so dam fun

 

It's loud as f@#k. It's not even the noise or fumes, it's the constant vibration. It's mind numbing and I think is what lead to my Manifold cracking twice. But it shawwwww due sound goooood

First thing I'm doing when I get my manifold back on is heading to muffler shop. The V band on the downpipe makes it really easy to remove the exhuast for track days

 

Thanks for all the input guys! Looks like I will be removing my exhaust soon. Anyone interested in an Asura 3" dual? Lol

 

I'd tuck it away in the garage for when you hate yourself and need another exhaust...



It'll certainly sound "cool" to you at first, especially if you've never driven a car open DP (which I'm assuming based on the fact that you created this thread) but trust me, it gets old quick.

 

^ gets old very quickly. It's also not good because it resonates 10x as loud in traffic when the sound bounces off the car next to you. Cop magnet

 

 

Can't disagree with you there. My 3.5" DP sounds like I'm packin' a Cummins when it's open

 

Exhaust cutout is the best way. Run it now with my setup. Stock exahust for daily commuting.
