Exhaust

I was thinking to take off my whole exhoust system from my 87 REX and run a straight 3" pipe from the heather out. What do you guys think about that. No cat no muffler.

Are you driving an N/A or turbo?

And I guarantee after you pull that manuever, you will rupture an eardrum, **** off all local law enforcement, or both. Also, do they have emissions laws in WA?

If you plan on driving this on the street, you would be better off with a downpipe/presilencer combo. But hey, it's your car, and your ears.

we can only assume that you meant headers...cause we don't know this heather chick for our exhaust. Anyway....like said above it will be loud. So if you like getting attention then by all means go for it.

header -> straight pipe = bad

throw a muffler in there somewhere, preferably a straight through and definately stainless steel packed. fiblerglass will melt. if you are considering straight pipe obviously you don't mind loud so the cheapest way to go would probably be a magnaflow single (which will still be extremely loud).

I had to drive my car with just the RB header for nearly a week waiting for the presilencer to show up, and the only thing that I could compare it to is having a trumpet placed squarely over ones ear and blown as loud as it would go. once I got the pre-silencer and the full RB cat back, I got a lot of people asking what exhaust system is that??? and hey wanna race! it sounds bad *** now
