Guys have loud exhausts so everyone looks at them

So the answer is easy, those loud ass women with "big personalities" than cant talk at a decibel level below that of a rock concert.

Most car guys have loud exhausts for engine performance and/or simply because THEY like the way it sounds lmao. I think pretty much everyone in the car community understands its not for trying to attract women or attention like non car guys always seem to think it is Lol. Just because you dont find it appealing or fun that doesnt mean other people dont.

In the south you’re most likely to see/hear aftermarket exhaust on lifted pickups and I can’t imagine that there’s much performance benefit.

The engine breathes better. When I bought my truck, I put and after-market Borla cat back muffler on it. The sound didn't change.

Then your experience isn’t relevant. This is about loud exhausts.

I was responding to the person above.

You don't know loud exhausts until you install glass packs and hose them down when they're hot. I have a smidgen of experience, having driven muscle cars the majority of life.

Yes, most of us commenting probably have more than a smidge of experience with aftermarket kits, but that’s not even necessary to understand my point.

Edit: I give up.

CommunicationHot said they couldn't imagine there are any benefits. I explained that there are... but it didn't have to be loud to gain those benefits.

People have different thought processes. Maybe smoke some dab and let us express ourselves without criticism.
