Going from the previous misjudged thread...

[Damo_Sport]

Anyone else gettin the dirtiest looks ever just driving through a town/residental area??

Just recently had my decat fitted and i dont give it the beans around town at all.. but the looks i get is like i shouldnt even been born!!

I hope im not the only one >.<

 

[Nightwalker]

Old people and people who drive 67bhp C1s think noise means speed.

 

[Damo_Sport]

i got it before with my cat on let alone the decat...people just look at ya like ya a alien..

 

[luke2405]

Yep happens to me all the time to

 

[Damo_Sport]

i admit its loud.. but its gone past them in 5 secs, not exactly causing them any problems.. but yeah its mainly old gits...

 

[Dave..]

I hate chavs with loud exhausts on their cars. Yet I have the loudest car going. I feel embarrassed quite a lot of the time.

 

[DrR]

I hate loud boomy cars, just sound w**k,

Cars that are meant to sound loud are fine though.

 

[TimR26]

I've noticed I've been getting a few looks at my car since my silenced decat was fitted!

 

[Vish]

Nope, but I'm not decatted yet, just got a Ktec stealth which isn't that loud.

 

[Adam_S]

I have a 1.2, everyone smiles at me

 

[Munson]

I'm confused. People are misjudging your charver exhaust?

 

[Damo_Sport]

my definition of chav exhaust is a £50 backbox from halfords.. i dont exactly think a £400 total exhaust system is chavy.. i buy it for the gains not the sounds

 

[Dave..]

To be fair, your average bloke sat at home watching the news or whatever, isn't going to care whether you spent £50 or £5000, it's still going to rattle the windows, wake the children and piss people off.

 

[Alastair.]

yes, when i drove a k reg clio with no backbox i thought i was god, public were disgusted!

 

[Curtis!]

Reckon if I drill holes in my cat it will sound good?

yes do it and post a vid up, 20mm hole cutter does the job so ive heard.

Back in the day I took my Astra GTE to have it's exhaust replaced.

They removed the whole system and tossed it away (it was completed knackered).

Then they discovered that they didn't have a replacement.

Drove the thing for 4 days and it was only just a little quieter than concorde - I was getting looks from people at the far end of Teddington high street .

People don't like loud exhausts - Turn up your stereo

 

[iimushroomzii]

I used to have the loudest exhaust ever, used to get loads of looks but I thought it was awesome! 6" slash cut on a clio... I think not..

 

[BREMBO]

Depends on how the car and you look aswell...

what the... How did you get on my facebook?

 

[gwilkes]

I made my own exhaust including manifold once when i was 17 and skint, got pulled by the rozzers. They said when i put my foot down their floor vibrated, i was chuffed to bits with that, my mates thought i was a hero. Wouldn't do it now though.

When I had my accident an old woman came over saying I was doing over 100mph, I explained that I was less than 50 yards from the traffic lights which I was stopped at so to accelerate to 100mph would of been impossible!

She told the policeman and he nearly laughed at her!

All because I had a decat and k tec stealth cat back!

 

[Gally]

Think about it if a ferrari went past and old person they wouldn't shake their heads as the car has a right to sound like that.

A clio 1.2,172,182 it's all the same to granny, you're just a chav with a loud exhasut to them

haha excellent.

 

[Will.]

I get people looking at my car and most smile at me Im such an ASW though

 

[leeds_182]

I sound like a chav in my car.

It goes with the territory.

 

[Brett]

I don't really care whether people think i'm a chav or not. If somebody has a problem with the volume of my car then its their problem not mine tbh. Its legal thats all i'm bothered about.

 

[Daz_RT_04]

I'm getting looks at the moment (your a t**t kind)

maybe because my backbox fell off 3 days ago? lol.

 

[Rocky_24]

people down my road are annoyed at me i think, but this is the most sensible and quietest car ive owned compare to my x2 valvers and a valver rep.

1 bloke who lives opposite me came over and shouted at me 2 days after he mooved in because i had a loud exhuast on the car, he thought i came down the road at like 50 when i wasnt going more than 20 (i mean what knob speed outside their own house, i would get a right telling off from mummy lol )

he said to me he had a daughter and "would kill me if i hit her doing those speeds" but hes the one who takes his 7 year old daughter on the back of his ZX10R with no protective gear on at all, no gloves and his helmet, probably 10 times too big for her, she was so short she couldnt reach the foot pegs or grab handles, she had to hold on to a peice of rope he tied round his waist,

and im the idiot that could potentially kill his daughter?

 

[v15ben]

I get dirty looks when making the most of tunnels and bridges with the loud exhaust!

I especially like how the dirty looks I get sometimes change when I get out of the car and they realise I'm in a suit and tie

[Merk]

People look at me like I just spat on their mum when I drive past, most people just think it's an old white s**t-heap honda that's loud

It is.

My wee brer giving advice there x

 

[jibbajabba]

Most of you sound like very sensible young men

Unfortunately there are chaps that drive cars that (to the uneducated eye) bare a passing resemblance to the cars you drive, unlike you though they like to get together in convoys and drive around town usually at night favouring the rally time trial style of driving - traction control switched off with their turbos crackling and whistling.

It may be possible that the evils you receive are intended for these local heroes and you're just an innocent victim of misguided anger.

Just a thought
