Yes a complete bolt on straight pipe with the flange would be a great solution. Just unbolt your existing muffler, put in the garage or basement. Install the straight pipe with flange and reverse when wanting on little quiet :^)

ORLY?!?! so it is alright that the car puts out 125db and makes less then 100 hp. I can see a car being loud if it has to be IE. 500 whp s13 but a 100 hp fit??? but to be loud just for the sake of being loud is just dumb.... rice is rice any way you serve it.

If you did not replace the muffler with a straight pipe and the gases were just exhausted there, would there be problems with that? would there be any damage to the components underneath, like heat problems, or everything getting covered in exhaust gases?

This thread can't contain much more rice, it's already at critical levels...

As for the 'rice' comment, I would much rather take the muffler off for a nice sound than pay places like aj-racing $600+ dollars for some JDM exhaust that adds no horsepower. You know what I think rice is? Adding Japanese emission stickers, Honda Jazz emblems, or filling your dashboard with weird anime dolls to a USDM car????

if u like it, get a muffler shop to make u a straight pipe from there. shouldnt cost no more than 40 bucks. bring ur stock muffler with u cuz they'll need a flange.

[quote=_alf]then you are just being obnoxious and NOT meeting emissions standards and being cheap. while STILL gaining no horsepower.
Point is, he didn't have to spend a lot of money for the sound. If you don't like it just leave him alone. Come on guys he just did a DIY mod and he's happy about it. Don't be a jerk.

plus, police man + finding out that your running open pipe = fines$$$
so in the end you just end up paying more than u needed to.
like id suggested to my cousin, an Apexi universal N1 canister with the assistance of a muffler shop to weld the axle back would be the cheapest alternative, about $200 - $300 bux.

Although i like the aftermarket exhausts this is just another opinion/alternative.
