Could one just bolt on the exhaust from WRX to quiet down STi pipe or that
won't work?
won't work?

you've got to be kidding! in find the exhaust rather quiet. to each
his own. my guess it the wrx exhaust would be a bolt-on. i'll bet
you can find a wrx owner willing to swap. you'll loose hp and he/she
will be happy to gain a few.

You might, but there's been reports that it's a fatal attraction for cops.

yep, i've heard that too. i've gotten good long stares from cops;
nothing yet. btw, can they even ticket you for a *stock* muffler?? i
haven't heard of anyone, who's been pulled over for the exhaust,
actually getting a ticket. (and shouldn't they be off stopping crime
or something people actually care about? sheesh...)

your handle suits you. if you don't want your balls then bugger off and
find a nice quiet rail track to lie down on.

i never got pulled over with my muffler completely disconnected.
yeah, it was still hanging on the car, but there wasn't any exhaust
going through it!
seriously, if you drive around like speedracer all the time, expect to
get your balls busted. so far, i haven't even gotten a double take...
and right now, i've got a catless exhaust, magnaflow straight-through
muffler (not the quietest!), a turboxs RFL blow off valve, and a
sticker on the back of my car that says "you just got beat by a wagon
" needless to say, it's not the most subtle car..believe it or not, i think most cops look for violations that they can
actually write tickets for.

Heh, I'd love to have a sticker like that, only I'd want mine to say "My 4

LoL...I don't think you would any way, but don't
make a habit of it.
Bwah-hahahah!! That *is* a good one.
Depending on how the state code puts it,
"excessively loud exhaust", or "modified exhaust
(causing excessive noise output)" is a violation
that cops can cite...
The probability of being pulled over *solely* for
loud exhaust will largely (generally [1]) depend
on the wording of the "elements of the crime" in
your state code. Somewhat similar to "loud
music" or window tint statutes; some require a
specific device, eg tint-meter, to issue a cite
(which may or may not be available, working, etc)
while others are more liberal--like, "music is
audible more than 50' from vehicle"...
The probability of *earning* a cite for exhaust,
tint, and other "discretionary" violations will
skyrocket if you get pulled for something else,
and make a sustained and deliberate effort to p-o
the cop.
I'm kind of tired right now...hope that made some
sense, lol.

complaints from residents, bigwigs, etc, about
"those damn noisy car exhausts", then things that
drew no notice can mean a stop...another reason
to be considerate of your neighbors, hint-hint.
