Finally Straight Pipes! Video Added

Got some straight pipes for my 8 , sounds pretty scary.

Unlike the others i haven't sold the OEM muffler , kept it so when this gets too annoying i will switch back. Didnt want to go all the way though cuz then the sound woulda been too much

I noticed a lil bit increase in power on low rpms but on higher rpms its crazy.
The car also lost some weight off its *** , the OEM muffler is really heavy.

Some flames are visible at night.
Will upload video of sound asap.

They aint pretty but who the fudge is gonna take a look under it.

Btw it just rained so alotta mud and cowshit under the car....

Question : any disadvantages by having straights?

Noise and attention from cops are your primary disadvantages

That's a pretty bad ratio. Seems like a good idea to take them off, no matter how much you like them.

I understand, I am just saying that beware of dry-rot. Long lengths of pipe full of bends are prone to developing leaks, not to mention the welds dont look that great (by "look" im not talking visual, im talking structural).
