What’s the average cost for a straight pipe installation?

Does anyone have specific data on power gains for different models? It would help in making the investment decision.

I’ve installed a straight pipe on my Honda Civic and noticed better throttle response and a deeper sound. Worth every penny in terms of performance! Cost me around $400.

My concern is, will it be too loud for daily driving? I don’t want to annoy my neighbors.

That sounds great! I’m considering it for my Mustang. How do you think the sound improvement compares to stock?

It’s definitely louder, but in a good way! Just make sure to check local laws about noise levels. Some areas can be strict!

Good point! I’ve heard that exhaust mufflers can help reduce excessive noise while maintaining performance.

I’ve done my research, and many users say that installing a straight pipe can actually improve fuel efficiency slightly. Has anyone experienced this?

Hmm, I’ve never heard that before. Isn’t it counterintuitive? More flow should mean more fuel consumption, right?

Actually, not necessarily. Improved exhaust flow can lead to better combustion efficiency, leading to better fuel economy in some cases.

That’s interesting! Do you think this applies to older cars too, or just newer models?

On a lighter note, my friend installed one and said it scared his dog! :joy: But really, it’s all about how you drive—drive responsibly.

That’s hilarious! Maybe I’ll bring my friend’s cat instead! Seriously though, it’s essential to balance performance with daily usability.
