kill switch good idea when im at a stand still.and if i were to be going down the road just let off the gas and coast.or pull over like the car died and wont start up.or just stay behind a pack of harleys.
Let's see,"I don't want any mufflers 'cause I need all the attention I can get"...so "I'll wear ear plugs when I drive my mufflerless car". Come on folks...time to grow up! How are you going to hear emergency vehicles? I've been around hor rods for 50 years...they have mufflers.
that doesn't make 'em legal. Look. do what you want, obviously, but hot rods sound real good through a proper exhaust system...with mufflers, etc. Real good. When I hear open exhaust it means one of two things, race car or rat rod.
Here's two of my friends street driven gassers Both have mufflers, both sound badass and both aren't to be messed with. How much more hot rod can you get than this?
Oh Boy look at me I have Open Headers on my pile. Aren't I cool? Of course it runs like crap and is slow because I'm giving up all my power to open headers so I can sound Cool and now I can't hear it, but there is this cool ringing in my ears. Seriously dude, but some exhaust and mufflers on that thing. If not for your own sake then for the rest of us. I work in the Harley Industry and all those years of arrogant "Loud Pipes, Save Lives" BS is now starting to bite them in the ass. Major cities all over the country are passing noise ordinances against open pipes and the irresponsible Hot Rodders will only add flame to the fire. Why is this happening? because the general public is fed up with morons with open headers and straight pipes revin their shit just to say look at me. Well, when they legislate your Hot Rod right out of existence at least you'll have that coll ringing still in your deaf ears. Sorry if this seemed harsh but I'm sick of being a target because of others immaturity.
