What? What? [put silencers back on] There. I can finally hear now.

Used to have them off. Sounded great at the autox. But during the drive home (about an hour) I had the worst headache ever. So silencers back in.

Its my belief that running the invidia with out the silencers for more then an hour will cause permanent brain damage..

No human could sustain that much noise...no one!!

The low buzz sound at lower rpm level really gave me headache after approximately 1 hour of driving.

do you guys notice the car doesn't decelerate as smooth as when the silencer's off?! i'm talking about when silencer's on and accerate to 7-8k then decelerate in the same gear.

I leave mine in, they sound plenty loud enough. When I'm driving I'm not looking at my exhaust tips so I wouldn't notice the smaller opening, and if someone else is looking at them their too friggin close.

If I take a road trip (for ex. the drive up to Fall Colors), then I will put them in so I can listen to some music.

For my local weekend driving, I leave them out......

I keep ear plugs in my car for longer trips.
