Good for you Robyn. I've had several similar encounters with those types of LA vigilante drivers, so I feel your frustration.

Sure it probably wasn't the safest or sanest thing to do, but if you didn't tell that lady off like you did you'd be regretting it for a long time.

Robyn,

I can relate to you in regards to the Fabspeed exhaust. They are loud and attract attention.

I am planning on tinting my windows so no one can see me...LOL

My pleasant experience consist of driving by a golf course on the way home. The design of the course has a a tee box which is practically on the road and to top it off a red light adjacent to it.

Well...I usually get the dirties looks from golfers at that tee box when I drive by or am stopped at the light.

As a golfer myself, I know how anoying it could be but heh...Im not trying to get my PGA card.

F'em

Ever consider just putting mufflers back on? The noise would get to me after awhile. I find they just attract too much attention, I only put them on when I go to the track, just GHL's the rest of the time. I realized that;
a. I'm not 17
b. I have nothing to prove
c. Who needs the extra attention
Just food for thought

With all due respect, I don't think that having the bypass pipes...

a. makes me immature (I think I'm a little offended by your insinuation)
b. shows that I have anything to prove
c. shows that I wanted extra attention.

I put them on because I wasn't willing to throw good money away on something that wasn't going to give me a performance gain and only marginal sound. And I actually like the way it sounds and the weight savings.

The "noise" doesn't get to me...I've had them on for a year now. Do I like other sounding exhausts more? Yes, when they come down in price...I'll consider them. I do appreciate your imput though, thanks.

PS Why do you put them on for the track?

Take it easy Robyn, I was talking about myself and my own experience with bypass pipes. Sorry, didn't mean to offend you, guess it came out the wrong way.

I stopped hassling with dumb f88ks like that on the road. Just stay behind them, get the plate numbers, and report them for wreckless driving.

Hey Dev and Aben,
Sorry to get you worked up, sometimes my sick humor is missed. Robyn and I are rather close friends and I actually appreciate you sticking up for her, thanks.
