Talking Believe it or not...

...I just made the Justy more annoying than it was to begin with.

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.'

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

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

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

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

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...

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...
