stock exhaust... running with no muffler?
hey guys
i am well aware that this is something kinda ricey and stupid to do, but today i unbolted my muffler from the rest of the exhaust. i plan on buying a ws2 in a week or two
to my surprise my d16y8 sounds pretty decent, comparable to maybe a ws2. sounds like stock at idle, and nice at high RPMs. theres no ricer buzz or any rattling.
(i am uploading the video as we speak)
my question is, will this be affecting anything aside from making more noise? i am contemplating leaving it off for a while. this shouldnt be illegal or anything right? i still have my resonator and cat.
will add link to vid when its done!

dark, are you still driving with it off? or have you put it back on?
im just surprised that it sounds like this... why do people put on ebay exhausts when removing your stock one sounds better imo.

i have no problem with putting the stock exhaust back on, but are there any negative sides to this?
aside from the loss of some low end tq (which shouldnt matter since i didnt have any to begin with), am i going to risk burning up the valves because there is less backpressure?

If you don't call a loud *** exhaust and NO low end (as opposed to WEAK low end) a negative, your Crazy
Basically If it happnes because of rust fine, get it fixed. If you do it and you like the sound...sell your car to someone who *might* enjoi it.
