Default Open header incerts

I was wondering if any of you have tried these sound supresser incerts.Im thinking of doing away with my steel exaust pipes all together and just puting a very short section of down angled pipe to direct the heat away from the car.I run with no mufflers anyway and I love the sound but this should shave a good 50lbs or so and make it sound even nastyer.Here it the link for more info go to. http://www.speeddirect.com

You need to here my car. I've got a set of baffles that will give you an idea of how that is going to sound.

They do VERY little to muffle the sound, it's not much difference than open headers...

If your ever going to take you car to shows you don't want any kind of down turned exhaust. They always seem to park me where the grass is dead or it's dusty. So if you have down turned exhaust it just blows stuff all over that car that you spent hours cleaning and detailing.

Thanks for the tip Lt1er.no I spend too much time and money now I dont need that dust blowing all over the car, so angle them to the side then.
