Buzzy assed mufflers!!!

[nytemare]

This punk kid is driving this little red 88 fiero or MR2,(not sure which) through the condo complex here with a muffler you can hear from about 1/2 mile away. I look out the window at the car, that sounds like a crotch rocket going about 80, and the fucker is going about 15 mph, stopping, smoking tires, then going about 15 mph again through the complex.

If they weren't gone already I would go stop the stupid fuckers and tell them that people with jobs that pay for better cars have to sleep so they can work in the morning, maybe he could learn something from them.

I can't understand why anybody thinks that driving a car that sounds like a motorcycle is somehow impressing the masses. I like a little deep throated gurgle to a muffler, but that high pitched buzzing shit that wakes people up has to go.

Rant over, thank you. :)

1. I hate these pricks

Back in my day we had REAL horsepower.

Oldsmobile 442's and Chevy Malibu SS 396's and Plymouth Barracudas and Plymouth Roadrunners and Ford Mustang Boss's and Pontiac GTO's and Mercury Cyclones and Ford Torinos and SHIT....

WHY DO YOU NEED A HIGH PERFORMANCE EXHAUST on a freakin' NEON!

Goddamn PUNKS!!!!!

5. Mine probably doesn't have that kind of horsepower

I have an 02 mustang GT with a Mac exhaust, and it sound deep and throaty.

It is somewhat loud when you are in it, but it is nothing that will wake people up and think a motorcycle has crashed into their house.

15. I hate them, too...

...and their stupid, souped up pieces of shit. Those Hondas and Acuras look so stupid all tricked out -- especially the "wing on the back". I absolutely hate the sound of those stupid mufflers...what idiots.

Give me a GTO any day and I'll show these little bastards what Horse Power is.

2. i agree

i loved my little crx and soon my buying a honda coupe but the stupid sounding mufflers will not be part of the improvement package. nothing beats the sound of a 400 cubic inch pontiac firebird engine with cherry bomb mufflers and the exhaust pipe ending in front of the rear wheels..now was a sound

7. I understand modifying the cars for better performance

Do the buzzy mufflers do anything for performance, or is that just to piss people off?

13. It does nothing for performance

especially when you have a 4 cylinder stock engine. Adding an obnoxious muffler and ridiculous looking coffee can tailpipe is a cheap upgrade that they believe makes their piece of shit car look and sound faster.

14. I figured, but just wanted to know for sure!

Thank you. :)

3. An MR2 has its own basic beauty in both form and function.

A noise pipe turns it into an obscene joke.

(I mean that about the second generation, not the original or the new MR2 roadster.)

10. It could have been a Fiero

I dunno. I would rather get engine work done and get my car looking good than spend money on an obnoxious muffler.

:shrug: Who can explain it?

[ContraBass Black]

11. Ah, well, a Fiero is ugly, so that's different.

[nytemare]

12. I just saw the rear end of it from about 500 feet

We'll just say it was a fiero...LOL.

4. Marching Morons

Reality is for TV shows, it all about perception - if my car sounds fast, it must be fast, right?

Why the hell can't they enforce the existing noise laws on these idiots?

[nytemare]

8. The police just have to be there at the right time

They are just out dealing with other idiots. You could probably hear this car from over 1/4 mile away.

6. There are still Fieros running somewhere? - n/t

[nytemare]

9. I think it was a Fiero...possibly an MR2

Whatever it was, the muffler probably cost more than the car was worth, it had a shitty paint job. I was very impressed.
