I enjoy that too, when at a light with some kid shaking his trunk with one of those bass tubes, i find my self giving it a lil more go juice when the light turns green. the cell phone is another good one, just as my exhaust pipe is even with thier open window, i nail it a little to let them hear that straight pipe I know its meen, but i HATE when ppl talk on the phone and drive.

Well hate to burst your bubble but the UPS trucks (Well around here) have internationals in them and sound like PSD's

We have a 70 Challenger with a 451 and 3" flowmasters. Was told not to drive the car in the apt complex because too many complaints. I bet they love the new diesel now! still waiting for them to say its too loud. I cant do anything its all stock. (for now) In Scottsdale (a snobish part in phoenix) I couldn't believe all the looks I got at red lights, and the sudden increase of windows rolled up. Also at the mall they have a covered pass through where you stop for valet parking, well I just drive through there, just for the sound effects.

Two days in a row the parts guy came out when I parked at work because he thought his UPS delivery was there. That was with a stock exhaust too!

Gee does anybody make a short stack that could run up next to the tail light?
Perfect for those bass thumpers and cell phone users who give dirty looks.

Well I have a new one today. I dropped 14 year old son off at school, and as I am approaching the front door, my boy says, "Dad, all my friends know when you drop me off at school because your exhaust is so loud that the attendance monitor in the school office yells, Cody's here, I can tell it's his dad's truck rattling my windows".

Anybody been through Phoenix on the 10 towards the airport and pass through the covered area that is totally enclosed. Makes a great sound with a straight pipe.

another one of my favorites is that snear and head shake you get from a yuppy driving a "4x4" SUV as he rolls up the window and mouths some snide remark to his passenger seat companion.....

when I pull up at a drive-thru, and I speak loudly, if they ask me to turn the truck off I say I can't its on a timer, which it isn't, if they say they can't take the order I just leave I shouldn't eat that grease trap crap anyways.
