Ok, so this isn't his car, it's mine, but this is how it sounds when the stock exhaust is cut just before the mufflers (the rest is still there, clearly, but it's not going though it). If straight pipes sound kinda like this then I think it's cool too, but a little loud for my tastes. At low speeds though, when accelerating, yeah it sounds like a truck or tractor heh, which I don't like.

I realize this is really pointless as a video, but it's what I had.

My brother used to cut the exhaust on his cars back when he was in high school, the loudest was his '73 Ventura with a 350 lol. Sounded like a monster truck! Waaayy too loud.

I had straight pipes on my vert and it sounded like ****, and I lost a LOT of low end torque, I wouldn't ever do it again, mufflers are the way to go!
