The car sounds horrible with no exaust
Okay...so when I bought the car from TomsSVX it had super patented "tomstock" exhaust gaskets. Basicly the wrong gaskets. Anyhow, Ive been driving with them since I got the car in......the summer? how long HAS it been? Oh well..long story short, they blew out on the highway, had to hear that obnoxious noise for an hour on the way home. the only way to combat the cabin noise during acceleration ws to scream as loud as possible untill one of three things happened.
1. the car reached the correct speed and I could let it drop doen to 1500 rpm where it was quiet 2. my voice gave out 3. I passed out So yeah, I finally broke something. Eugh, hope its nice out tomorrow...I cant be seen driving something that SOUNDS like a honda

When there are exhauxt issues, it sometimes affects how the car runs too.

I was driving it when it broke... You are so mad too. Your SVX wanted to sound like the 5.slow Mustang we were next to....

AHAHAHA Ultra Tomstock(no time or money to wait for good gaskets). They are metal gaskets meant for a 300zx. I just clamped the hell out of the flanges. Just get new donuts bolts and springs and ur good. Or just buy the same gaskets I used and do it over again... Probobly just a bolt broke

That still amazes me how the components on the car interacts so closely.
