Yeah, most people I know just drive it open DP somewhere. We're not some big American muscle car so it would be that terrible loud unless you really get on it. You probably won't do that much anyway with open DP.

This is what I did. I kept the car in the garage and measured the length for a test pipe. I went to a muffler shop and told them the length as well as which flanges I wanted. They made it and it cost me $10. I went home and bolted it right up.
