subie3429 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 just curious. i bolted another pipe on the flanges to make it come out the back more so it does melt anything. im just wondering if it will hurt anything like engine wise?? they wont be off for that long either im planning in getting an exhaust maybe beginning of april. i just dont want to go back to quiet.

FPerron Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 It's good to run a straight pipe. More noise, less weight, no problem "engine wise." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your Car Turbo Charged? If it is it will not hurt anything, in-fact a straight exhaust is the best thing for a Turbo Charged Engine. Now if its a NON built non turbo engine it still wont hurt the engine, BUT you will loose bottom end torque "pulling power off the line/acceleration" Thats why putting a fart can and a short ram intake on your car is stupid your removeing your bottom end torque and not FORCEING anymore air in the engine. although if all you want is a loud car have at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight pipe wont kill a EJ255 now a Ej253 is a different story too large straight pipe will murder what bottom end it already lacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catalyst Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I can't even imagine how obnoxiously loud your car would be starting it up to go to work in the morning or really any other place besides a drag strip..

tpeterson4237 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I Know this is an old thread, but I just straightpiped and when I spool it up hard, i get a small backfire with black smoke. is this normal for a straightpiped car? or anything out of the norm? Thanks! Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them you want it for off-road use, take it home, and then put it on when you are, ahem, ready for off-road use.
