Personally, I think test pipes are too loud for certain types of street driving. But I like the smell of gas, so I chose to live with the noise.

Interesting, I'm the opposite, I can't stand the smell of gas. My old 350, that I bought used, had the cats removed and the smell of gas really got to me sometimes. My current car has resonated HFCs and it's a bit louder than I would prefer but I'm used to it. And, it wasn't worth the cost of new cats to swap them out...lol.

You guys don't know what real gas smells like. Back before the 80's. You could get 98 octane from the local gas station pump. And every car didn't have cats on it. Every heavy truck rolled coal. 2 stroke motorcycles mixed with bean oil. That's a smell that you will never forget.

I wish cars burned the castor oil. Loved the smell of Klotz

Nothing better than the smell of race gas. Ethanol stinks like wet socks. Nasty smelling.
