i have a non-daily driven track ***** civic. id like to eliminate my exhaust system and run the exhuast side ways with a straight thru muffler thru the side of the front bumper. sort of like the dumptube pipe from the wastegate lot of turbo'ed guys do. i was wondering if the length of exhust pipe contributes to the loudness? its a track only car but it is registered and i do drive it to the track.

ps. minnesota does not have emission tests and cops around here are clueless when it comes to honda's because i live where trucks rule and imports drool. but when i say clueless i do know that cops know mufflers coming off the side of the front bumper is not normal. with that in mind let me know what u guys think.

I would check into the noise ordinances for your state and see how well they actually enforce them. I have been running open downpipe on my civic for a year now with no problems from the popo. My old roommate wran open header on his RSX a lot too. As for the length of the pipe, a longer pipe (out the back) will make it quieter in the car but should technically be about the same volume outside. If you have an exhaust running out of the front bumper it is going to be very loud all the time to everybody.

of course its gunna be hella loud and look silly anothr thought i hope you dont hit anything with your front end you header or whatever will be toasted into the block!

why bother with a side exit exhaust? Its still gonna be louder than hell - might as well just run open header

what the deuce are you talking about?

ANY exhaust that dumps out before ANY of the wheels is totally illegal...

You'll get pulled over in minutes...

Plus YES the length does affect the noise level...

Unless you have a resonator cat and muffler on there it's gunna be LOUD.

I have a full exhaust system with header hollowed out cat (getting a new one soon) resonator and a MUCH larger than supplied magnaflow muffler and my car is rediculous loud...

I don't get pulled over but I did with the regular canister muffler that comes with the magnaflow catback...

Also the reason that racers do that is they NEED to get the exhuast out from the turbo as fast as possible with as little resistance as possible...

You being NA will probobly LOSE power by doing the same.

anyway so i would like to hear from some guys that have the setup i mentioned and let me know what u think of ur setup.
