Have you heard a Fit without a muffler or with a straight pipe? I doubt you have.99% of cars sound extremely loud and sound like shit when you do a straight pipe. Doing a straight pipe axleback cost me about $20 at my local shop and sounds much better than any ricey aftermarket exhaust. Keep insulting me all what you want. It just shows your lack of knowledge and experience. And unless you've been in a HONDA FIT with a straight pipe axleback then you have no clue. Any other car will be loud as hell and sound like shit.
I'm not insulting you, but a straight pipe sounds like shit. I have heard a Fit with a straight pipe as well as been in a Fit with a straight pipe, I don't care that some people like it, its a horrible sound.
Well I have a straight pipe axle back, not the whole exhaust. Maybe that will sound like shit, but at least all the Fits I've heard with straight pipes including mine sound awesome. Very bassy deep mellow tone with no rasp or drone. Sounds slightly louder than stock but not as loud as an aftermarket exhaust. Others can vouch for it.
So for no loss of fuel economy or performance, and an almost stock sound I should spend money to hack my muffler off and have a straight pipe with a stock tip welded back in its place? All for a modification that could get me pulled over, and will give me nothing more than a minimal gain?
Fucking brilliant!
Not to mention lowering the value of your car when you can't just bolt the factory back on because you decided to distroy it. Sure we all say we will never sell, but you never know, lol.As far as a straight pipe, removing the rear muffler on a Fit is not a straight pipe and that itself, I think, will sound no better or worse than an aftermarket axle back. The ones that sound like crap are the ones with a "real" straight pipe, removing the muffler, resonator and cat(s). That would sound like crap, imo, though I have never personally heard it.
