Believe it or not...
 
...I just made the Justy more annoying than it was to begin with. :p

The muffler was in tatters and one of the hangers broke off, so I had a shop cut it off and weld on a piece of pipe.

It's actually quieter at idle - mostly because the rattling, squeaking and banging are gone - but once it gets up in the revs (I have no idea what point - no tach) there's this big BRAAAP.

Hee hee.

Oh, and it backfires. Little Justy 'pops.'

:D

Honestly, I couldn't drive a little car like that and keep a straight face... :p

You must look like a 30 yr old ricer-wanna-be driving around in that 'popping' thing! :D

You should've had them weld on an actual coffee can! :D

That little Justy would look killer with a 7" ricer tach on the dash!

:eek: :D

I found that my Justy wasn't really louder at all without the muffler. Most of the sound was lost in the 2 cats.

(Of course now it has no cats and no muffler...now THAT'S loud!)

That's what I thought at first (because my muffler was in tatters anyway, but then I got on the gas a little and at some point it just resonates.

I do still have the cats in place...I can't take them off in stock class...

30? Man, I'm not that close to it yet... :p

Anyway, yeah, it makes me laugh every single time I drive it. It's not really 'ricey,' though. The bigger wheels (13") I put on are from an old Celica, so they don't stand out. It's not slammed. Now, if I did some ground-effect lighting... :p
