Rear muffler delete - VIDEO CLIPS

I had some people ask me about my muffler delete so I took a few clips from the inside of the car. I was drivin through residential streets so I apologize if I couldn't speed much. I'll have some outside clips up soon. Enjoy!

I'm sorry, but it's painstakingly awful to watch someone driving with one hand - fast and furious style, especially on an automatic Don't even get me started on the texting and driving part

I don't understand why that's a problem. I don't see why I would need two hands since I wasn't on a track or even going above 60 mph. That's just how I've always driven lol it's comfortable.

I can't get a good handle on the exhaust note with the music playing.

Sounds too subdued. Maybe because it's only in cabin with the music playing.

I apologize for the previous videos. I didn't realize the music was getting in the way. I just uploaded a new video on top. I'll record some outside clips tomorrow.

I don't see how steering with one hand =FnF. Sometimes I drive with one hand at 6 o'clock sometimes it's at 12 o'clock sometimes even at 9 o'clock. Texting and driving I agree whole heartedly with you, however, I've been driving this way since the day after my road test.....way before FnF. Not to mention that I had a heavily modified si before the movie and still drive as I do know....maybe it was them that copied me!

You don't need 2 hands on the wheels until you need it! It doesn't matter if you're going 40 or 60mph, you can't make quick evasive/emergency maneuvers with just one hand on the wheel.

Sorry about the thread jack. The muffler delete actually sounds pretty decent

Driving with one hand with a gangster lean isn't something to be proud of. I would definitely understand having only one hand on the wheel occasionally because you're tired, but not for the reasons you perceived as "looking cool"? If you thought it was the right way to drive, why didn't you drive it that way when you took your road test?

Some facts: 1st FnF came out in 2001, a Z4 wasn't available until late 2002. Your Si weren't even available until 2006 - so how can you "heavily modified" your Si before the movie?

He probably means a civic si

Some facts: in 2000 the only si I knew of was made by Honda and in fact was a civic, and I'm fully aware of when the e85/6 were manufactured. I'm not trying to get you all butt hurt man, but I never said I thought it was cool, what I was in fact trying to say is that if somebody is comfortable without white knuckling the wheel and prefers to drive one way over another, who are you or me or anybody else to judge them? Needless to say, as far as you abiding the same exact rules today as you did when you took you road test.......more power to you

Looking forward to some videos where you get a chance to romp on it a bit. How much louder did it get in the cabin compared to the stock exhaust? I'm still looking at options on my si and this might be one option I'd consider.
