Answer 1

excellent to see others feel the same as I do, what a complete waste of money putting those vaccuum cleaner exhasts on family sedans and import crap. the mufflers are usually larger than the entire engine block!!! I love to catch these cars at a light with my '72 Chevelle SS 396/402. When I fire that baby up, all 450 horses rumble the street signs and set off car and business alarms. They aren't even in the same universe as real muscle and for the previous post saying he runs 12.9- bullsh*t!!!! 12.9 1/8 mile is more like it.

Answer 2

Yes I HATE Coffee Can Exhaust systems and Imports can get better performance by NOT running them but they think it's cool to sound like a Hopped up Lawnmower with a bad case of the farts. The "Tuned" exhaust is supposed to make it sound like it's got "Import Muscle" One of the fastest Imports I've seen was an Accord W/ a simple 2 1/2" in 3" out single Flowmaster muffler. The exhaust was then routed out the back and gave the same Look as the coffee can exhuast but had a sound similar to that of a pasta Rocket.

Answer 3

Not a fan of the coffee can exhaust either, but to limit the rant to imports is stupid. I've seen Chevy Cavaliers, Ford Escorts, Pontiac Grand Ams and other domestic cars with this. Are most offenders driving Hondas or Mitsubishis? Yes.

I'm not a fan of any overly loud car or motorcycle. Do I like fast cars, you bet! But I prefer the "stealth" approach to speed. Lots of power , speed and handling without the looks.

I don't know what I find more obnoxious. The coffee can exhaust or the guys in the full-size trucks with obnoxiously loud exhaust, especially the home-made "let's see how loud I can make it" type.

Answer 4

In my opinion, the sound of the car should not be the result of the exhaust system, where did that come from? Muscle cars sound the way they do because of the ENGINE. Thats what counts. The exhaust should aid the sound comming from the engine, not the other way around. If your engine doesnt sound good to start with, dont try to cover it up with a lousy exhaust system.

Answer 5

Yep, my rice rocket 300ZX Turbo with a 5Zigen exhaust, not too loud, but eats most american muscle, except for the 600hp+ mega dollar cars that cant drive around town. And I can drive mine anywhere, and get over 300miles a tank. 12.9sec 1/4mile, 172 mph top speed, 20+mpg, aircon on. But i agree with u in principle, a coffee can on a Civic 1.6? Yep, looks damn stoopid, sounds worse! Same goes for the Harley boys with their in yer face attitude exhausts. Get a life, Hoggers!

Answer 6

I don't like coffee can exhausts myself, and i've seen pontiac grand ams, dodge neons, chevy cobalt, and other imports and domestics. But one thing i hate more than the coffe can exhausts-a very noisy muscle car that does 1/4 miles in 15 seconds...what a waste of energy.

Answer 7

I think you and your little import friends should all grow up and quiet down your cars, no matter what kind of noise they make. It is still just noise from boys (not men). Inflicting any unwanted noise on society is not cool, it is childish. "Look at me, look at me"

Answer 8

You must be referring to the Honda Ricer Noobs.
