I was wondering if you could drive through a town with straight pipes, in a Z, WITHOUT getting in trouble for it. If you have straight pipes let me know how you like or hate it. Where I live 90% of the vehicles here are trucks... with cut off mufflers or extremely loud exhaust. Yes, I do live in a redneck town. So the cops here would probably be more tolerant about it.

 

Sure, I don't see why not

 

You left out one tiny part... "in a Z, WITHOUT getting in trouble."

 

I do. Except I have a Magnaflow X-pipe muffler in the middle of my car so the engine sounds will mix, giving more of a VQ sound. (NO MUFFLER TIPS, JUST STRAIGHT OUT)




I will be putting test pipes on soon. Should be louder.

 

I straight dumped for a while. Expect not to hear ****

 

I just have to ask the obvious question...why would you want to drive a car with straight pipes?

 

It all depends on the cops in the area. If they are hard a$$s in your area, just grandma it through town, then romp on it on the way out That's what I do for my open dumps, but with me I can still kinda get on it in town.

 

i run straight 3" w/mandrels flaring out at the end, using the stock tips.


straight pipes save lives.

 

^any vids?

Iv yet to hear "straight pipes" on a Z not sound like ****

 

I have test pipes and drive in Atlanta everyday without any trouble...but the looks I get are priceless

 

Depends on the laws were u live.. In California I think u can't have an exhaust louder than 118dB.

 

My shockwave V1 was close enough to straight pipes, never had a problem. Got pulled over twice with a quieter system.

 

You can't do that here in Hawaii. The rookie cops usually train in Waikiki and will pull you over for any little thing that "might" be illegal. I drive through town with my Shockwave V1 with no problems though....

 

Yes you may. If anyone tells you different tell them davidv said it was OK.

 

How loud is this compared to stock?

 

I believe its 95db.

Much louder.

After resonated TP?

I'm about to find out.

 

Join the Hellaloud movement with me...

Test pipes & 2.5" HKS replica exhaust

When I baby it, she still rumbles, but if I give it more than 30% throttle, she's race car loud. No tickets yet, but I live in South Carolina, where each household is required to have at least one pickup truck with a "The South Shall Rise Again!!!" bumper sticker.

I also have two sets of dual airhorns (count that - 4 airhorns on a Z - hahaha). Totally necessary for OG members of the Hellaloud movement.

Join up, it'll be sweeping the nation before you know it...

HELLALOUD - GET U SUM VOLUME BISHES

hahaha... but seriously... everything about my car is true

 

i have Turbo tsx tps wid Hks exhaust, n my Z is a daily driver.
Drive my car everyday. Too much loud but i like it.

 

Im rocking the HKS knockoff and testpipes as well, and I have yet to see anyone question the legality of my car. ive passed many cops sounding like apollo 11 and had no issues
