Default Straight Pipe or stupid? (question)

hey guys, just wanted to know what your input is.

i have a x pipe, and 2 magnaflows. Im not to satisfied with the sound so my brother told me to just go straight pipes and that would make it much louder which is very true. But, my question is; is this a stupid thing and illegal thing to do?

Thanks,

Justin

I think it would only sound good with a v8. Def not a v6.

Would a H-pipe really make it sound that much better? And why would'nt it sound good if its a v6. The only difference I would think the v8 would make it much louder.

sixxers dpnt sound good with staight pipes.....that is a v8/v6 thing, its just not going to happen...the h pipe is a deeper sound, while the x pipe is a raspier sound, which a sixxer already is prone to IMO..

A v8 is not only just louder, It has alot deeper tone then a v6. Straight pipes is a v8 thing. Just get a H pipe to help give it a deep sound because the 6 already sounds raspy.
