Any one running a 3" open d/p on the street daily? Is it real loud?

yes?

 

yeah?

 

haha its a very open question is there a point to it?

 

its not worth it for the street, get it an e-cut out or just run a 3" exhaust/straight pipe

 

OPEN DOWNPIPE, for the win!!

 

very true i like te sound of it.

 

I loved the sound of my open downpipe but hated the fact i would get a head ache from driving 30 mins. I put a 3" summit glasspack muffler to a turndown to lighten the tone a little. Helped out more than i thought it would.

 

yea..you'll get used to it

Unless its a track car, you'll be thankful you have have some kind of muffler

 

open downpipe is alright for a little while. If the sound dont kill you the smell will.

running a 3" open dp right now, and its loud yes but i love the sound. I can really only smell **** when im slowing down in gear. Just waiting to save up some money and get a full 3" exhaust.

 

ive been told buy a pretty reputable tuner its hard to tune a car with open d/p too

 

Open downpipe is the epitome of obnoxious. It sounds wicked especially hearing the turbo wind down but stinking like exhaust fumes after a short drive gets old quick.

i think that would be the only reason i would change to a full exhaust, or atleast dump it further down or on the pass. side. the sound is like music, especially hearing the turbo whine.

Yes and Yes. Very loud actually, but if you're like me, you'll think it sounds awsome. Unfortunantly, the cops hear the same thing

no, open header on an NA car is the epitome of obnoxious

 

I drove around the block a few days ago with an open 3" dp and that was all I could take. I almost vomited from the fumes. Plus I can't imagine driving a full day like that in CA without getting pulled over and beaten by the cops.
