WTF are some people thinking - HondaClub.com

Why is it that its cool to have an exhaust that the cops can hear from 1 or 2 states away? I mean, its nice to have a sporty exhaust, but some of these things just sound horrible

And I've wondered why people put a huge wing, vinyls, and a fart can on their car, and then drive slow as grandma?

For example, on my way up the hill the other day I was following this civic (looked 99 ish) with the big wing, loud exhaust and everything, and he was driving sort of slow, so I figured he was just trying to get me to pull along side or something, so I downshift and pass him (1 lane each direction, in a passing zone), and there is completely no reaction, unless he was flooring it and his car couldn't get any more power out going uphill

and I'm pretty sure it isn't the same reaction as when I'm driving the s2000 (people pull over to let me by, Xenon FTW

)

I can understand passive drivers, but in a car like that

of course then a stock lexus pulls up next to you wanting to race

although I have to admit I drive sort of fast, and I drive a completely stock grey metallic Civic Si Sedan, I think having the sedan has definatly limited the amount of people who want to race me. Mostly just eclipses and a s2000 so far.

**TJ213** · 03-06-2007, 11:12 PM

do you mean the "turbo sound" exhausts?

not sure...out here we call them whistler tips...it's just a piece of metal welded onto the tip of the exhaust.

lol, but damn, I'd think that falls under the 95db law

btw, those were some sweet rims, and the driving was incredable
