Letting the world know you

Meanwhile I'm getting pulled over multiple times for my loud exhaust because my muffler fell off and I don't have the money to fix it.

Then the cop pulling me over has to stop talking as a motorcycle drives by so loud he can't even hear himself.

The problem is that loud pipes are CHEAP.

Literally straight-piping your car is one of the cheapest mods.

You actually have to pay more money if you want more performance and for it to be (relatively) quiet. That's one of the reasons loud vehicles are so common because and best solution for more performance is also the cheapest.

(It is more complicated than that, but this isn't the car community to where the nuances matter)

Just put a vuvuzela in the exhaust pipe.

Or conversely, having bass boosters so strong that it's questionable as to how you car hasn't fallen apart.

This post is funny because it's true

Ironically enough nobody in the world has been deterred from loud exhausts because of the cost. You literally just cut the muffler off, you can do it for under $10 working from scratch

I refer to them as “cool guys.”

It must be hard when your accomplishments are so little that no one notices you exist; i might be an obnoxious man child just to get people to notice me too.

Even car guys will hate you.

but hey buddy, your mustang/challenger/Corvette is loud

Yeah, it's loud because it's a fucking sportscar, being loud is entirely in character and useful for the driver to hear out gear shifts on a twisty road.

In a truck? Just makes you look like a clown.
