Do straight pipes look weird to you?
Does anyone think straight pipes look strange since you have a huge void on each side where the mufflers were? Theres a lot of stuff on the car that can be seen that was hidden by the mufflers.

Not at u don't notice it u just see the pipes coming out of the back like two shotgun barrels with chrome corvette plate in background I have two straight pipes with two dynomax bullets and it sounds better borla and flow master and corsa.

Obviously you do not know the difference between a well tuned scavenged exhaust system,pulling Evey ounce of horse power from the engine, from a raspy resonance ladened power stealing untuned obnoxious exhaust system.
Kids Like Loud, they don't know what healthy sounds like. Straight pipes sound like polished turds entering the toilet.
I hope I haven offended anyone..

Straight pipes are not a look, or sound that I particularly care for. I've very happy with my Corsa Pace Cars.

5000?? There is nothing like 3000 to redline, ( shift 2-3 ) 4500 to redline, ( shift 3-4 ) 4500 and the rpms climb to redline, ( count: one, two, three) slam on the brakes HARD,( tach drops to 3000) blip the throttle to 4500, 4-3 downshift, blip the throttle 3-2,( the back fire sound of unburned fuel ) and around the corner. Then roll that throttle to floor and do it all over again.
The sound going up the gears, and the quick blips, back fires pop-n-gurgle shifting down the gears. :
Hell my wife can hear me a mile way when I am out bedding in brakes on that long straight road between the cattle farms.
if your looking at the space between the pipes, your not driving enough.
that said, they would suck for normal driving. the noise inside my cockpit, is very loud even at 40 mph. cant hear a cell phone ring. conversations are semi yelling at each other.
so no I would not want them for every day normal public road driving. I had GHL bullets and liked them very much.
