...then they think it's an old farm truck that the exhaust has rotted off of.

A bone stock TBI motor less the muffler sounds like crap.
Kind of like... putting a flowmaster on a v6. Sure it is loud(er) but, it is a far cry from good or, tough sounding (and by any means faster due to noise).

I know.. my 91 RS had a hollow cat and dual no muffler pipes out back when I bought it.
Brought it home and promptly put a muffler on it.

JMO though...

its not staying like that, i like the way it sounds, but i think it needs more of a growel, once i get the money im going with headers and a 3" exhuast with a high flow cat and a force pro series muffler, i just like what it did for me preformance wise so im going to have to keep it for about another month or two till its all said and doen
