No Tailpipes!

I took a ride in my friends Ford Futura v6, 2.3L I think.

His exhaust sounded awsome. It was DEEP sounded like a straight base note.

He said his tail pipes rusted off lol.

I am wondering if my car would sound like that if I took one or two of my tailpipes off??

will it hurt anything?


thanks

wouldnt it just be like the warlock exhaust?

Warlock has 1 outlet and a cap over where a seccond outlet would be, and when u want loud, you take the cap off type of thing.

tail pipes are there to take the exhaust gases away from underneath your car. i wouldnt want to sit in a car with a leaky exhaust at a stop light for to long! keep your pipes on!

Free hypnosis! "You're getting sleepy, sleepy, sleepy, dead!" Yeah, don't remove the tailpipes. I doubt the car would be much louder "outside" of the car, you're still going thru the muffler. It would probably seem louder inside because you're moving the sound output closer to the driver's seat, instead of the sound coming from behind the bumper. But I think to people on the street, your car wouldn't be louder- just a guess.
