The Straight Pipe Poll

I'm curious as to how many of you have a straight pipe here... Now lets see if I can remember how to make a poll.

I was going to go with a straight pipe, but on a 3rd gen it sounds terrible with the cat removed (off road use only). I went with a MBRP and it sounds good.

Had a 5'' turbo back straight exhaust going to 5'' turn out stacks on my 2001. Would literally rattle cars so much it would set off alarms.

Never had a word said to me! God, I miss that truck!

Taken care of for you.

I have straight pipe too, never gotten in trouble or asked about it. Although I am quite reasonable with it, and by that I mean I am not running through residential areas at 3000 RPMs in the wee hours of the morning. I don't want to attract that kind of attention to the truck.

I have never gotten pulled over for a straight pipe, but my brother got pulled over for his dual exhaust on a 318. It doesn't make sense since his is quiet compared to mine

I havea 4 inch straight pipe with a 5 inch tip. I haven't gotten in trouble with it yet but i have had cops follow behind or right next to the exhaust outlet before. I don't know if they were looking to sem how loud it was or if they were just enjoying the sound.
