This is precisely the reason I did a muffler delete - very intoxicating, I must say. Granted, I can only get it to "gunshot" pop after a cold start-up and the first coast in 3.5k RPM; beyond that, it's just gurgling.

RE: the ricer comment, I - like many others - will have to question that sentiment. Typical fart cans have a much smoother sound on decel.

Whenever I hear pops and gurgles, I know the car means business and is worthy of a double-take.

Straight pipes. Actually just disconnect the exhaust at the downpipe or header for the most popping and spitting. Oh and big fireballs also.

I thought I was the only one who loved doing this, once the car is warmed it really does it, I was crusing through dc wed night late night and the popping and echoing was amazing! I even had girls shouting do it again!

I'm catless on an open dump and only pop under WOT 1-2. Hella loud though and I love it. I'm on a resonator and muffler though. Quiet when I'm cruising but loud as hell when I'm on it.

The loudest pop I ever did was when I completely stock besides GMS1. I took off from a light and NLS 1st to 2nd and there was a girl walking on the side walk right at my bumper. The pop literally did sound like a gunshot and like it was right next to my head and I only had my window slightly cracked. I was thinking "Wow, that was a loud one." then I look back at the girl that was beside my car and she was full sprint halfway across a parking lot. Probably thought she was getting shot at.
