    Well, i was looking at the works "axle-back exhaust"... i wrote axle-back exhaust in quotations cause i think that for that price is a rip of for what it actually does...

    take a look:

    http://www.worksevo.com/store/product_i ... cts_id=481

    wtf do you see here? NO MUFFLER... so this is basically an extension to the actual exhaust tube from the axle to the back.... and they want $280 FOR THAT!?!?!?! WTFOMGLMFAOMAC&CHEESE!!!!

    well i was doing my dumb math, and if its acutall just an extension with 2 hooks and a pretty tip, the performance difference (if any) and the sound should be fairly the same if not exactly the same as if i just took the muffler out...... so guess what? :D

    I took the muffler off, and to be honest with you i love it!... it sounds beautiful and i feel that it pulls a bit harder in the mid range (40-80mph) anyways, i took more videos, they are uploading right now, ill post them later on or tomorow....

    critisism is welcomed

    suba, feel free to post your upset star wars face lmao...

    The video really doesnt do justice to the sound... if possible listen to it with headphones or speakers with a lot of bass... it is a really deep tone...

    With the muffler off ain't you guys getting exhaust into the cabin? With that pipe you are forcing the exhaust fumes out the back but just taking off the muffler you are expelling it right underneath the car?

    Yeah I would watch out with that expecially if you got people in your car. Might end up killing someone by accident including yourself...

    oh ok so he just chopped off the muffler and added the tip to where the muffler connected, i thought he mighta bought some extra pipe to make it reach to where it was originally

    i believe ektor is talking about the works exhaust which is this
    http://www.worksevo.com/store/product_i ... cts_id=481
    and he is proving a point that its not worth 280 to buy a piece of pipe

    Well yea, but i passed by an exhaust shop and they say that a cheap custom pipe to route it to the back would be like 45 bucks... much better than 290 + shipping lol...


    the hanging of the pipe is horrible... i took some speaker cable (not car speaker cable, but professional 4000 watts concert speaker cable lol) and held it from the chassis... its not running all over for now......

    about the gasses, i always have my windows down so i cant tell...

    about the weight, that thing weighs 27 pounds.. it feels like 300 pounds tho lol!

    exactly... you can get that for 50-75 bux in a muffler shop... you wont get the pretty finish, the tip, or the word "works" on it, but who cares? :D

    when i get it done im painting it matte black...

    What I would do is have a shop manderal bend pipe and take out that muffler too and get a nice tip welded on. Would be tons cheaper then what works is charging. I was just afraid that these guys where running there car without a muffler and no piping to expel out the rear. In the vid and in the wording I didn't see anything to tell me that anyone did...
