Default hooker sidepipes with no inserts

Well I brought the vette down to school this week for a car show later on in the weekend. Unfortunately its supposed to rain some this week and possibly the weekend. Anyway, let just say that school is an hour ride and I was revving about 3500-4000 RPM the whole time. :p: It sounded soo sweet, but very loud. BY the time I got down here, I had gotten used to it and didnt seem that bad, or at least thats what I thought. When i got all settled in and talking to some friends, I realized that everything seemed muffled and my one ear began hurting :sad: A day later everything is still a lil muffled but almost back to normal, same for ear, only hurts a bit still. Im wearing ear plugs on the way home!! :jester

However, driving through the parking lot on campus is way too much fun!! Must have set off at least 8 car alarms when going to my class this morning!! :rofl:

During the last 5 years - I drove over 35k miles with open sidepipes...

:lolg: When Brutus was here last time he rode up from Miami with Olivier, he kept whining about his ears :jester Open pipes sound cool but it's a little much for me, and my neighbors are cool so I think i'll stay on good terms for now.
