Don't be a hater! Lean the car out and the smell goes way down. Don't drive like an a**hole and you won't have legal issues at least in states with no emissions testing, as for power? I couldn't tell the difference. Coupled with a header and catback it has a unique low hum that will set off car alarm warnings occasionally.

Hater? What the hell is a hater? If you didn't notice a difference, why spend 100$ for the pipe especially when it sets off car alarm warning? Sorry but I prefer having a car that I can actually have other people in without needing earplugs.

Hater http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hater

I got it used for $35 or 40 I think. Don't need ear plugs, too low of a sound. I wish you could hear it, maybe change your opinion. I imagine it sounds like trash with an ebay or other **** can, but not with greddy.

Yes....it will sound raspier.
