    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.

      Compared to straight pipe, you would have a short pipe. Being so much closer to the engine, you’d get more noise. Even straight pipe dampens the noise a bit.

        Yes you’re right fuck poor people how dare they have bills to pay.

        Oh and btw my muffler only broke because I was delivering pizzas on shitty side streets. So maybe the problem is cities should maybe fix their roads?

                  Honestly, they are right. Sucks to suck, but if your breaks were failing, or your tires were bald / showing wire, you shouldn’t drive the car untill you fix it. Even if you don’t have the money to do so. You endanger the people around you

          Is car owned by you or by company? If first, bill your delivery company. If last, it’s company’s headache.

          EDIT: Downvotes? FYI in some countries with strong labour laws if employer requires something and does not provide it, then if employee spends money on it, said money should be compensated by employer.
