As I suspected, you had no idea what this thread was about. As I stated in the first thread the purpose of this thread was to define and clarify the characteristics of a rice exhaust when contrasted by the American style.

And from this comment, I gather that you have difficulty grasping anything past a literal understanding.

Abraham Lincoln once said, "It is better to be thought a fool, than to speak, and be known a fool." I believe he was directing this comment for the situation you have gotten yourself in.

Maybe next time, you will be more polite when you share your opinion.

 

alright new vid :P

Haha, I told a guy at the strip his car IR sounded like ****(headerback straight pipe) and he looked like he was about to cry... I LMAO'd for about 10 min.
LMAO.
Well if you have subs on your computer here is something you could listen to, the one from the inside is with the Tsudo but after I installed the DP, the walkaround one is from when I had the stock dp and Tsudo CB. I am working on getting my other outside rev vid up from earlier but I have dialup so it will take forever, when I get it up compare it to the walkaround and it is much deeper with the SS/SC header.


Loud and raspy as ****. Sounds good at low rpm bit any romping on it and you will get what I am saying.

 

If you live in Florida, aftermarket exhausts are illegal, if it is louder than the stock exhaust system.

The fine is $70 for noisy exhausts, and Florida cops are ********. I got the GM Performance exhaust on my car and I think it's great, and if you look at it, it still looks stock and is emissions legal in all 50 states.

This is something to think about if buying an exhaust in Florida, don't need anyone contributing for for the state cop donut fund due to retarded laws. I got this info off the tamparacing.com forums, it's a sticky under General Car Chat.

Who cares? Just get an exhaust that you think sounds/looks good. I have a CA header + XTC 2.5" de-cat downpipe + ARK N2 cat-back, and some love the way it sounds/looks, and some think it sounds/looks "ricey". Owell, my money, not theirs. Self-satisfaction FTW!!

engine noise.......what engine noise? LOL

(my exhaust noise > any other noise my car makes)

 

what about the trim squeaks?? and yea before my exhaust i could hear my supercharger.. i would call that engine noise.. now i can't hear it.

 

lol, forgot about those pesky trim squeaks. I'm almost afraid to install the poly trans mount bushings......I bet the trim squeaks will get even worse, lol.

 

loud exhausts belong on musclecars, unless you like flying passed cops lettin um know how fast ur really goin

 

or on anybody's car who wants it loud.

 

ok lets clarify.

16 year old kids use the term "rice". how difficult is it to understand the difference between "american sounding" exhaust and "rice" exhaust.

american exhaust-
behind an engine with 8 cylinders.

rice exhaust-
behind an engine with 4 cylinders.


if you havnt gotten my point yet, i'll simplify if for you. your car will not sound like a 5.0, or an LSx engine ever. theres nothing you can do to emulate that sound. so with that being said...

Who drives your car? you do. Why should you care what other people think about it? you shouldnt, because its yours, not theirs. If you like the megan catback, get it. If your buddy thinks its "ricey" thats too ******* bad for him, its not his car, so his opinion is invalid.

its your car. dont put parts on it to cater to other people. they're not the ones driving it.

 

True all personal preference. For me i prefer to have a quieter exhaust and don't like to attract attention given that i always have my foot on the pedal. Depends on what you want really. I've going by cops pretty quick and i haven't been followed. I think every because it doesn't sound fast or it's black... i'm betting on the exhaust being quiet.

 

I just ordered my Corsa Touring. I'll let you all know what my opinion is of the sound once I get it on and hear it live.

 

You would care if you got pulled over, and then given a $70 fix it ticket. You will get a ticket each time you are pulled over till you get it fixed.

I'm not bashing aftermarket exhausts, I am just trying to warn the thread creator, who lives in FL. If you like your loud exhaust, then more power to you. In any case, all you need is one pissed off cop with nothing better to do, to ruin your day.

 

Damn man, could they do it with out of state vehicles? My mom has a monte carlo with straightpipes and we used to go down there about every year.

 

I my opinion (for a SS/SC anyway) , if you cant hear the supercharger ...its too loud . I have GMPP touring exhaust and really like the tone, i had GMPP performance exhaust for a few months and it annoyed me, my wife and the kids .

 

Ya if I had GMPP I would've gone with the touring, I'm hoping that the corsa touring works out for me.

 

Non-Rice.

if it has a can and/or any rasp it is rice. add gmpp and borla to non rice (same exhaust i guess)

 

I agree, I am not basing my opinion on that of others. I bought the Megan Exhaust already. I think I just reacted badly to your first comment, let's call this little argument even, what do you say?

Dude, I had no idea, I already bought the exhaust, that shouldn't be much louder than the GMPP. I am in the process of ordering ZZP header and dp kit, that may be too loud.

I don't know, though, I hear tons of loud cars in my area, and as long as I don't rev too high I think I should be ok. I do mostly expressway driving. If I get pulled over I will try getting out of it by saying I have a leak or something.

I would normally say I don't think so, but knowing the cops in Florida (a huge part of the state revenue comes from tickets) I would have to say that they would try to give you a ticket for anything possible. One of my friends got a ticket for "Improper use of fog lights." The lights were all stock...

 

Please tell me your friend fought the fog light ticket.

 

He doesn't live in Florida, so I am not sure he even knew what he had to do. I told him, "Just show up in front of a Judge, and it will probably get dismissed before you even say who you are." I should ask him about it, .

 

I think if you get pulled over, your best bet is to say it's a GM exhaust if it's not blatantly obvious it's aftermarket. You also gotta keep in mind that there is a 79db limit, so even if your exhaust was stock, but was louder you would get ticketed. FL laws just seem retarded, and I'm glad I don't live down there anymore.

In any case, the law is the law, if you see a cop and your exhaust dosen't scream ricer (i.e. 3" fart can) then you might be ok by keeping the rpm's down.

 

for some reason i didnt realize gmpp had two different exhausts for the balt... id only ever seen one on their site.

 

Yeah, I figure if I keep my rpms down I should be fine.

 

find out what the deciple level is for the noise ordinance for your city. it you're under that level theres nothing the police can do about it.
