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.

You can stow the attitude here bub. I also live in CA and if you are driving in this state with no cats and no muffler, you are at risk to be cited and have you car impounded. That is simply the law.
The fact that it hasn't happened to you yet simply proves you are lucky, not correct in your assessment.

"The catalytic converter plays a major role in the emissions reduction of a motor vehicle. The vehicle manufacturer has matched a specific catalytic converter to the vehicle to minimize emissions output. Both CARB and the EPA do not allow the replacement of a catalytic converter with non-exempt "high flow" performance replacement unit. In fact, it is technically not legal to even replace a converter unless it has been proven by technician to have failed, and then it can only be replaced with an exempt OEM equivalent unit."

Who said anything about no cats? I've got all 4. You're the one with the attitude BTW.
