Pops is right.
Running open limefires right now and they sound great. Of course they are louder than an exhaust system with mufflers, but not offensive (unless you punch it) I rarely get on my T too hard (honest) but when I do I do it smart on a open stretch of highway where the police arent sitting there waiting and I certainly do not punch it next to a car with open windows, etc, etc, out of respect for someones hearing. I can still hear my girlfriend talking and the oldies on the radio. I have not been pulled over yet and our area has its share of police. The car actually has a great mellow tone at cruise speed and a great nasty idle when you fire her up. I guess I just understand that it could be offensive and respect that with my driving. Truthfully police give me the thumbs up or wave at me when they go by. I think it is the presentation of the car that makes the difference too. AND of course with all the loud rock and soul music I hear all night with the band I am sure my headers will not be the cause of my hearing loss. Different strokes for different folks! Don Jr.
