Hey Jeph, yeah I love this forum. A lot of good threads. A lot incomplete. But mainly its because I'm up in the Northeast, the roads are icy and sloppy with snow. Although it is supposed to warm up this week! And its busy season for me so I'm in the office a lot on wknds and nights. Cabin fever.

2000 S with no muffler. Very loud when you step on it and resonance is horrible at 2000 to 2700 rpm. If all I did was drive it once in a while around town and at the track, I'd keep it this way. Using it for a commute car and doing any long distance freeway driving is rapidly becoming impossible to live with.

Personally, I find cars (of any type) with the overly loud tailpipe action to be obnoxious. A porsche is a racer, but it is also classy car, not a hoopty. All that look a me noise is for children that have no respect for their neighbors.

First off, it is illegal and likely to get you a nasty ticket in most parts.
Moreover, if it was my neighbor's car, I woud have him arrested.
Otherwise, I am sure it is fine!

Which communist state do you live in? It most certainly is not illegal. I've been pulled over for not having the current tags on my license plate and the officer complimented me on my car's sound.
With the 4 cats, the noise isn't too loud at idle and with light throttle.It's only when you step on it or drone along at 2300-2700 rpm that the dBA's go way up.

I guarantee you if you drive a Box with no muffler in CA you will be ticketed and your car will be inpounded. I can lead you to the CHP guys who will be happy to perform this task.
