This results in a) exhaust gases filtering into the cab when you're stopped or moving slowly, and b) an extremely excessive amount of resonation inside the cab (can you say hearing loss?). You can get a great sound through tailpipes; there's no need to use pre-axle dumps.
There is absolutely no way to duplicate the sound created by dumps. It turns the entire car into a giant resonator. I can't smell any exhaust inside the car, but I always have my windows down and only drive in fair weather. It is very very very loud, but thats the whole point.
If you're concerned about pissing off the neighbors, then go with something else. If you like making noise and turning heads, then exhuast dumps behind Flowmasters should be considered.
If you have good speakers on your computer, turn em up!
