Yeah, could be. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I have to confess that I often forget how important aesthetics are to some people, and sound is indeed an important aesthetic element.

Yep, everyone wants something different. I tried this out just to see what it was like and it wasn't bad at all. Now that I've installed resonated test pipes I'm pretty sure my muffler needs to stay on.

As you can see in the picture, the gasket is replaced with a few washers, therefore leaving a gap. |

i guess im missing what you did to your exhaust. did you reattach your muffler back just without the gaskets? or did you have to remove the gaskets because your aftermarket pipes in place of the muffler? sorry i feel dumb atm since your picture only shows the washer area and i cant see what you actually had changed to your exhaust other than removing the gaskets

^Yup, youre exactly right. All I did was reattach the stock muffler without the gaskets. But in place of the gaskets are a few washers on each bolt (4 on each bolt = 16 washers total).

I would say most of the exhaust fumes are still going thru the exhuast and mufflers, the gap is just letting the sound out more than anything and I think that is the purpose of it.

Yea Semtex, I looked up ricer in the rice ionary and it came up with Semtex, and Zsteve. I guess buying useful parts and not destroying good parts is rice. LOL. But hey Im really a firm beleiver, that you do what you want to your car but and not worry about what others think as long as you are doing it cuz you want to and not cuz its what others do, so to each their own.

on a side note. the washer method works well. tried it. and its a very good blend of sound. It sounds almost stock under normal driving and only around 60+ can you really hear the exhaust over the wind/road noise. but under heavy acceleration it sounds really nice and very clean.
