How does such large exhaust help a car thats engine doesn't produce enough power to really utilize it? It seems like it ruins the look of any car. I don't see how a 127hp civic can benefit at all from being loud.

Most people go to the louder free flo mufflers just for sound or on misguided advice that it creates more power which in a sense it does. If you increase the Flo usually it will increase horsepower but at the same time it decreases torque a happy media is required. The power gain is useless or even harmful to performance if you don't have the required torque to get the power to the pavement. Some cars computers are programmed to run based on that engines stats and a decrease in back pressure can throw everything off balance and harm performance. I hope this explains thing a little for you.

Actually the exhaust usually isn't increased in size. The location of mufflers on newer cars is close to the bumper so you see a large pipe exiting the muffler. The whole exhaust isn't that large. You will get some kind of power gain from a muffler change over stock. I do get annoyed with the loud pissed off bumble bee noise coming out though.
Sometimes those mufflers are needed but most time they are not. Not all civics are 127hp remember, some are packing turbos, nitrous and various other mods .

You know, in the last three years, I have only seen one civic that actually had the mods to hang with anything respectable. most civics are under 200hp and are slow as balls, much like 99% of the cars that have a gay muffler on the back like that. Its funny, the supercharged civic I saw didn't have a giant muffler hanging off of it...

The young can't afford high performance, but loud is cheap and makes an impact. They like loud. Music, movies clothes hair and jewelery and tattoos. Any thing to let people know they exist.
After all they were raised on the impression that they are number one and very important and unique. They want everyone else to know that too.

i might say that the two situations at the instant are not continuously taken in a similar context. enjoying a intense overall performance motor vehicle and Nascar being a game are diverse subjects. i think of what you would be comparing is the journey of pushing a intense overall performance motor vehicle "to the side" and what Nascar drivers do weekly. I, or you are able to relish a intense overall performance motor vehicle and guard rules governing our roads, yet enable you or me get on a music with that potential and overall performance and we is only not doing what i might call enjoying the "motor vehicle", yet extra that i may be pushing the vehicle to my leisure around that music. so which you will get some those that prefer to play on the "relish" which skill. they'd relish only large %. up and working with and then "we" ought to relish pushing the skill of that motor vehicle to the side. And confident purely us rednecks prefer to push the skill of a motor vehicle to the factor of crashing and luxuriate in sharing the rush with our pals. the different style of guy might pull it into the storage and "tote some tea" after wards.

I guess they think the sound gives the illusion that the car is fast when indeed it seems that the toy is falling apart.
