i was running open headers for a while in my car haha that was great loudest thing i have ever heard and i didnt have my center console i could see the trans and the road so when i drove at light i have a blue light flash everytime i shifted or let off the car (flames) it was great till i almost got pulled over
That's pretty bad for your valvetrain you know...

And I don't mind the sound of straight pipes...but it does sound better with mufflers.

I must admit that clip rules!

How much torque would one lose from like no back pressure

IMO any muffler sounds better than straight pipes. Listen to straight pipes then listen to slp tell me which one you like better. My vote is for mufflers.

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.

Rev

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.
meh. those cats just ruin it. my offroad h-pipe and flows are louder than that.
